Thoughts from the game

-Great crowd. Showed up loud and stayed with it. There was a decent amount of blue in there, but not as much as I thought there'd be.

-Marcus Thornton is an absolute beast and a warrior. He just out-muscled multiple Gators for several rebounds today. Grown arse man.

-Glad to see us close down the stretch. I'll admit my sphincter tightened when Florida hit the 3 to cut it to 10, but we kept our cool and finished right.

-This isn't a typical Billy Donovan UF team, but they aren't terrible. I still say they finish the season decently and may sneak in the tourney.

-We're gonna be favored in our next 3, possibly next 4 games. The betting line doesn't win you a game, but we've got a shot to set ourselves up well over the next two weeks.

-Outside shot of sneaking in the top 25 this week. Unlikely it'll happen, but I do think we get a few votes at least.

-Ole Miss comes here Tuesday night. They're at Arkansas tonight
