Hoping for a very convincing win tonight. We really really need it to remain contenders for the B1G title. GO BLUE, BEAT OHIO.

I hope Trey tears Craft up. Am I the only one who gets pissed when the announcers continuously suck him off all night, every night? It's unbearable.

Right.  Their conference competition isn't any good, I agree.  But that's not their fault.  Like I said, they're destroying everyone in that conference.  If they were winning close games each week against those weaklings I'd almost side with you.  Also, the Big Ten #6 and to an extent Big East #6 happen to be better teams than many, many other teams across the country, equating to pretty good wins, actually.  FWIW KenPom has them as a top 50 strength of schedule thus far.  I personally just can't agree that they're overrated when they kill everyone (minus two close losses) and they pass the eye test; they look good and look really good when 'they're on" (inferior competition, noted, again!).

It isn't their fault their conference sucks, but Gonzaga gets penalized for being in an inferior conference and so should the Gators.  Florida lost their 2 games against the best 2 teams they played.  Gonzaga lost to 2 probable tournament teams, beat K-State easily who beat the Gators, and beat Ok, Ok St. and Baylor.  They are ranked second and almost certainly be an underdog against Mich, Duke, Kansas, and likely Arizona if they played them.

That Arkansas win is suddenly going to have a bit more sheen if the Gators don't turn the game around.  

I always thought Florida was a bit overrated.  The SEC is as bad at basketball as the B1G was at football this year, probably worse.  They'll be an easy Swwet 16 team to bet against come March.
