NCAA Tourney Round 2: vs. Florida -- Thurs @ 4:10PM

[DCGator]

Reading up on your team I expected a slower pace than I saw last night. Which is more likely?

 

UF will apply constant steady pressure but not a true full court press, so that will have something to do with the pace, but what is Coach Brown's likely preference?

I'm not sure why but one question has been raised by some on our board; does your mascot have a name? Like our 'alligator' is Albert.

 

Yes, Damien the Great Dane

We are 13-0 when we score 70 this year including last night. That's the only stat I remember right now haha. I'll defer to someone else on pace.

Boy is Wilkin miserable...if you follow on twitter you know what I mean. What a joke that this guy is apparently forced to cover UA.

Billy Donovan: "Our guys have an enormous amount of respect and fully expect a great challenge." He was then selling snow outside Amway.

Florida coach Billy Donovan on UAlbany: "They've earned the right to play the game. They've had a heck of a year," Of course he'd say that.

It does matter a bit. 16 seed (UAlbany) has never beat 1 seed (Florida). "The team that plays the hardest will win," Finney-Smith said

 

We all know what we are up against...but what other professional beat writer treats the team he covers like that?

I don't know who that guy is, but he's not a normal UF guy.

He's OUR Albany/Times Union beat writer (if you can believe that) that has more interest in covering the Saratoga Race Track in the off-season then he cares about the Great Danes.

 

Again, we all know what the reality is here...but be a professional about it.

We have given up 70+ a couple of times this year, so it's not out of the question by any means. You'll likely have to shoot a good % from behind the arc.

He's a jackass, and a pathetic excuse for a sports writer

If he were in Florida and did that he'd have to hide his family. If i weren't a guest here, I'd refer to him as an assclown, but that's indecorous.

 

The reality is the UF is a very good team that no one expects to lose, but the reality also is that March is madd and very good teams lose games that no one expects them to lose.

That's such a great response! How sad is it that someone outside of Albany doesn't even think he could be an Albany writer. Oh Times Union...

Wasn't Wilkin ... I can tell you that lol
