Re: Game Thread: Florida vs. UCLA
I like Florida in this one. Billy Donovan is going to use his experience from that 2000 National Championship game to his advantage.

Hmm. Yeah, I can see how that would come in handy if Mateen Cleaves showed up to play. Of course, it would be even handier if the Gators ran out of players and Billy had to take the court himself.
If we're just talking about coaching against the 2006 UCLA team, though, I can't see how one game's worth of experience from six years ago makes any difference. I'll take UCLA based on superior depth.

I see in the poll you voted for UCLA.
Is the state of Florida getting the votes all screwed up again?

Re: Game Thread: Florida vs. UCLA
I like Florida winning this one. There defense is the best in the tourney and they can really show something on offense getting easy scores. Overall when it comes to talent I say Florida is better but when it comes to heart UCLA wins, but today is the day when they both take it all out and Florida wins.

Re: Game Thread: Florida vs. UCLA
I'm really looking forward to this game. Two balanced, athletic, and deep teams that pass well and move well with and without the ball.

Re: Game Thread: Florida vs. UCLA
This one should be a classic but I'm going with Florida. They got the quickness, bigs, and and athletes to hang with UCLA, but Noah will be the winning edge.

Dude, don't be a smartass. Like Jim Boeheim used his Final Four defeats to his advantage in the '03 tournament, and like Roy Williams used his loss to Boeheim in the '03 Finals to win last year. I think before you learn to win you have to learn to lose. The players on each team are about as equal as it gets, so I look at the coaching matchup, and I'll take Billly Donovan.
