Hard to believe this is UF's first road game.
Technically not true though in essence you are correct... they have played on 2 "neutral" floors:
  • vs. Vermont @St. Pete Times Forum, Tampa, FL
  • vs. Georgia Southern @Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Coliseum, Jacksonville, FL
Ohio State is Florida's only non-SEC game played outside of Florida.

Oh man I cannot wait until this game.
We're quite different teams... Florida's games have been a lot of 96-74 type scores... Not exactly the case with us.
Florida also has NOT played UNC, Syracuse, A&M or Butler.. This is their first game against a good opponent, and while we might not be last year's teams by any standards, they will be stunned by our defense. I don't think they've scored under 70 this year.

Also their defense leaves a LOT to be desired. I've only been to 1 of their games but they have a lot of work to do on the defensive side of the ball. I wouldn't say they're lackluster on defense, but.. I think a lot of their players are more offense-oriented. And they do have some very good shooters. They are definitely a better offensive team than we are, but I think the difference between our offenses is not nearly as great as the difference between our defenses.

I do hope that Diebler plays a little better this game. He should have a little more time and be less pressured which hopefully will make a difference. Also, if Koufos learns to be just a little more physical I think he can take over this game.

Sweet... what position do you play? Whoever you are I hope you have a good shooting afternoon tomorrow and remember to crash the boards.

The only thing that bothers me about Florida is that they have good bigs that know how to utilize their size. One of the weaknesses I think that this Ohio State team has is in the interior.
