Consensus Opening Line
Aggies +8.5
Total is 147.5

Well we're in the home stretch now with some heavy hitters in our last three regular season games. This is another tough road game before we come back home to face Auburn. Florida has good guard play and some athletic bigs that can also stretch the floor and they move the ball well. They are well coached and make good in game adjustments.

Florida is coming off a loss to Georgia where they were down 26 points in the first half. They came all the way back to take the lead with around a minute left before coming up short at the end. I'm sure that Todd Golden will have them ready at home for the Aggies but I expect us to compete. It's time to end the skid at 3 games.

Just Win!

Florida is a 1 or 2 seed at this point, but can obviously be defeated.

In addition to the loss to Georgia in their last game they were blown out by Tennessee a few weeks back in Knoxville - and have been beaten on their home court by Missouri in a close one. A few other teams have played them close as well - so, a victory in Gainesville is not impossible for our Ags!

I like our ability to get to the foul line and to make them over the last couple of games. We need to keep that up.

But we also need to recognize and shut down any hot three-point Gator shooter (something we obviously failed to do against both Tennessee and Vandy at Reed) while making at least one third of our own three-point attempts.

We should get the ball to Payne early and often for the close in shot and get him to find open perimeter shooters when he is inevitably double and triple teamed in the paint.

Finally, all MUST take better care of the ball (especially Taylor and Phelps).

If we keep our turnovers to single digits in the game and at least match the Gators on the glass, I think we can win the game outright and get back to being considered as a 3 seed.

BTHO Florida!

I imagine if we're going to pull this off it's going to be a classic mad creep style. Just stay in the fight and try to steal it at the end.

This would be a nice slump buster game.

nah this would be more 'punching' (above your weight), LSU could qualify as a slumpbuster

When someone is having trouble getting laid, they're in a slump. When you're in a slump, you need an easy score to get your confidence back up and break the slump - a slumpbuster. Often this means lowering your standards, and sleeping with someone you would never otherwise associate with.

He's right. A slumpbuster isn't the super model you bang because she was depressed about her break up.

A slumpbuster is a gregarious fatty who you hook up with because you haven't been doing well in the scene.

I somehow covered A&M +2.5 live line after Phelps 3 with 1 second left and then in bounds turnover last game. Living right

Will be mildly surprised if Florida doesn't cover and this may even be an 'A&M didn't hit rock bottom yet, but now it is' game where we get pretty definitively blown out. Don't like anything about this matchup.

The only thing I kinda like is Florida maybe experimenting with their lineups some and losing some rhythm because of it. Otherwise, yeah.

At this point - whatever. At least it's march 1st. Maybe the winds will change, who knows. So far it's been a **** show past couple of weeks. Baseball too.

Ain't touching this game. We are tough to bet on either way. We could beat anyone, yet lose to crap at home.

Just placed a small ML bet on the Ags. We either win it or get blown out. Have a feeling about this one...

I would be absolutely shocked if we won this game.

It would be one hell of a turnaround if we even cover.

Only bet I'm making is the majority of this board will come crying after this loss to slander Buzz and the players.
