Just looking at the South bracket, Syracuse or Kansas might get them. Soft bracket. One thing that might help Florida is if they make it to win the South region is that they will play in FedEx Forum. Lots and lots of SEC fans, and it is a huge place.

Your pal Cal doesn’t worry about free throws.

I know....bugs the heck out of me also.

Had there been a focus on FTs, UK would have one a couple more games this year.

UK sure hit the free throws against LSU Friday; I was there. Go look at the stats.

UK is getting hot at *exactly* the right time.

yes they did...not against uga though, but then they were hitting the threes.

I was hoping we’d save one or two of those threes for uf today.

you a UK fan?

Kansas State is going to be a tough game....But I will go out on a limb and pick the Wildcats to win.

He’ll pick the Gators. Being number one, it doesn’t require any thought on his part. Kind of like his presidency..

UK wasn’t hot today. This was a game that Florida did not need to win.

Florida wanted it to finish perfect in the SEC. I think they went into coast mode when they were up 16, and Kentucky, to their credit, fought back.

Friday was pretty amazing at the GA Dome. I estimate there were 19,000 UK fans present, and ~263 LSU fans. Not exaggerating on either number.

When I got home, I watched a bit of the UGA-Ole Miss game, which of course I could have stayed for, both games were in the same session, one ticket got you both. Even after a lot of the UK fans cleared out, there were more UK fans in the stands than UGA and Ole Miss fans *combined*.

UK fans will travel for a game!

UK fans always dominate the SEC tournament...even when they aren’t that good.

You should lay some serious money down in Vegas on that one.

It’s called Catlanta for a reason.

Also known as the Big Blue Mist.

I love it.

Sure wish they’d pulled it out today. I really have a strong dislike of flurida.

It would have really messed with the NCAA brackets, too, as an added bonus.
