Florida is giving me 2006 vibes. 13-5 might win this league.

I wouldn't put Condon, Haugh, Chinyelu, and Alexis on Horford and Noah's level... but this team is genuinely very good.

Can't compare any frontcourt to Horford and Noah but we have great size, athleticism, and versatility in the frontcourt to go along with an elite backcourt.

this is our best team since the 2013-2014 team, though. Would absolutely put this team above White's Elite Eight team.

I think Auburn is the best team right now, but Florida transformation on D is impressive.

Hate playing him. He’s a tiger killer. Glad we get UF at home because in Gainesville has been bad for us.

I think Tenn, Auburn, and UF are all playing at elite levels right now. I'd put Bama, UK, and A&M one step below.

Tennessee gets a good test tonight. Kentucky needs to stay healthy if they want to compete. I would probably add Bama to the top even though they lost twice. Their schedule has been brutal.

Alabama and Auburn have already laid the wood on them and I fully expect UF will as well.

Carolina has practically 0 inside game. Their only hope is for RJ or another kid to get red hot from range.

I don’t think UL will hang around long.

UK did lose at Clemson, but beat Duke and Gonzaga. I would put them slightly below, but not by much. No easy wins in SEC.

Bama is very good but I think UF's defense is a bit better. Bama obviously has the better resume as of right now because UF's schedule was light this non-conference for whatever reason.

Kentucky's going to put up a lot of points and give up a lot of points.

Oh, sure. I think Tenn, Auburn, UF, Bama, and UK are all Top 10ish teams, which is insane.

In KenPom, Kentucky is actually 2 spots (30) ahead of Florida (32) in DRTG (Defensive Rating).

I know, but that's biased by last year's numbers still a bit. UF's defense is going to get a huge bump again in KP after this game.

I think UF's defense will be solidly top fifteen after last year's numbers are no longer weighted.
