Florida against Georgia (round two) preview

Hold on the #2 ranking in the AP survey and probably in a position for a 1-seed in the NCAA.

Florida is currently 24: 3 in the season and 11: 3 in the Sec, where they are second place, which is currently recorded with Alabama, but technically at the tie-break. The Gators and Crimson Tide will look on March 5, which looks that it will be a huge game from a standstill, but from now on the Gators have second place in the conference. Auburn is still two games with 13: 1 and although it looks unlikely that the gator could catch up and all games could possibly lose if you don't bring your A-game.

According to the Modeling Platform Playoff status, the Gators have a chance of 6%to win the regular SEC season, so there are certainly many things right, but it is no certainty that Auburn runs away with the first.

Promotion of the playoff status figures The GATOs have a 43% chance of taking second place, and a chance of 37% to take third place. So you will certainly have to do a team like Georgia that sits in the SEC basement.

Currently, the Bulldogs are on a defeat of four games and have lost 9 of their last 11, which she reduced to 16-11 and 4-10 in the second in the season, which is good for the 13th place in the conference. Despite the fact that the SEC game was not friendly to the Bulldogs, the curriculum vitas still find it as respectable (45th in Kenpom, 41. On the net), which bracketologists have included in a complete binding. Some look at the recording and see that they are 2-11 in Quad 1 games and say that they have repeatedly shown that they are exceeded against similar competition. However, some bracketologists consider the victories against St. Johns and Kentucky, in addition to the fact that they have no bad losses and suggest to sneak into the NCAA tournament as a game team. The Bracket Matrix, a composite from the top bracketologist, currently has the Bulldogs as the second team from the field that shows how close they are, even though they lose a chills in the Sec. If the thought of a team that is currently 4-10 in the SEC, the NCAA tournament is present, they are not alone. The current system of evaluating teams based on metrics, and the network simply does not have a strong league responsible as the SEC, in which more than 12 teams could do the tournament, and at the moment it is clear that many people do not know, What to do with the Georgia CV. Unnecessary to say that Georgia is absolutely desperate after a victory against a team like Florida that would exert gigantic amounts of heavy lifting for the Gator's, so they have to be ready to face a team that has a lot more to win than Florida .

The Gators and Bulldogs last played on January 25th, and it was an all -out attack by Florida. Georgia was able to drop the first three of the game 3-0, and that was the only moment when they ever had the lead. Florida rose to a lead of 51: 26 at halftime and drove to an 89:59 win that was never in doubt. Especially for the Gators, the fact that they had five goal scorers in double -digit numbers and really spread the ball, which had been taking for four weeks, where the Gaters played an even more natural brand of basketball that was easy, fun and efficient.

Georgia's leading goal scorer was Guardian Blue Cain, who led the Bulldogs with only 10 points, and it was not due to the Gator who tried to slow him down, or something. Cain is one of the only bulldogs that are able to make hard, competitive shots one to one, and when the offensive of the bulldogs stood, he was often the one who was forced to get a shot on the edge.

Since this meeting, the biggest problem for Georgia has been her offensive, which was never a strength, but at least not at the beginning of the season was not tied up with handcuffs, but has become an anchor since then that every chance for her around the upper half of the second has . They hit the offensive problems in the second half of games in particular because they actually had some templates in the second frame due to their defense – only that long droughts aggressively enable the opponents to play again.

A player who has recently strengthened his offensive efficiency was better to read in Silas in the second year in Silas, who started as a driver, which led to strong goals, including 23 points in the state of Mississippi and 19 against Texas A & M. He was extremely quiet in the first meeting of the season against the Gator, but he has recently tried to give some points from Georgias Rückcourt, and he will be a player he has to look out for.


Georgia's best player throughout the season was the newcomer ASA Newell, which was really excellent, although his efforts were largely unnoticed due to the lack of positive results in Georgia at the national level. The 6'11 ”former goal of Florida has an average of 15.4 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 1.1 block pages of the floor. Florida's ability to slow him down for the defense pressure of the Gator and Florida must be prepared for his versatile offensive game.

Since Florida isolate so many victories this season to add a fixed -tent victory to her resume. The bulldogs have not played good basketball lately, but will bring everything into this game and Florida has to be ready to take this blow.

Florida and Georgia will compete on Tuesday, February 25th, at 7 p.m. ET and broadcast in the Sec Network.
