Lost to UConn. Not enough quality wins to be found in the SEC schedule this year to make up for the non-conference results unless we beat Kentucky twice (not happening).

Pump the brakes. Haven't even started conference play yet.

This team has no scoring talent. On paper this should be a great team, but they have no idea how to score. Very disappointing.

I know basketball works differently or whatever, but UCONN is the defending champion...

The defending champ is also 6-5 and struggles maybe even more to score than we do. We had a big lead and proceeded to go 8 minutes without scoring to give it up at the end of the game. Very hard to watch this team right now.

How many times have Gator teams given up big leads in the past few years? Especially at the 10 minute mark? Unfreakingreal?

This team is just not talented enough. I don't see any way they make the tourney.

We seem to have taken on characteristics of our football team. We play dumb basketball. Another blown double digit lead.

Similar story for Bama fans on Thursday night.

We'll be lucky to win 20 games in the regular season.

FWIW... UGA should get a nice RPI bump, Seton Hall beat #6 Villanova today. SH is 12-2 (losses to UGA & Wichita St.) & UGA beat them 65-47 in Athens on 12-21...

Not familiar with Florida's team this year. Are they in a rebuilding year or something? Are they considered a top 5 SEC team this year?

We lost a lot of talent, but we were still preseason top 10. Didn't deserve that ranking, but if you look at the roster we should be a lot better.

We lost 4 senior starters from last year, but that's still no excuse for being 7-6.

We suck dick, but every game we've lost with the exception of UNC has been a really close game. We joke down the stretch, we give up buzzer beaters, we score buzzer beaters for the other team, we shoot 8-20 from the free throw line. We just find a way to choke.

I absolutely hate our team. Every single player pisses me off constantly, except for Chris Chiozza.

-Frazier's shot got WAY worse. He's not even a reliable shooter anymore.

-Finney-Smith is now a 45 percent free throw shooter when he used to be 65 percent.

-Eli Carter was a lot better when he was out for the season.

-Chris Walker is easily the least-polished big-man I've ever seen and if he still hasn't figured out how to finish at the rim, grab rebounds, or post up, he never will.

-Kasey Hill somehow has gotten this far in basketball without ever learning how to make an elbow jumper.

Probably the most offensively inept team Billy D has ever had. Most of the team can't shoot a lick. The one guy that can shoot, Michael Frazier, just stands around and hasn't embraced his role as our top offensive option.

We lost our top 3 scorers last year.
