Screw it, I'm rooting for UConn... they can lose to Maryland on Friday. Today, I want to see #1 Florida lose.

I agree on this take. Knock out another SEC loss today for the narrative and have one of our B1G brethren knock Hurley down a peg Friday.

Hate seeing Bill Murray at a UConn game.

I should have picked Auburn to win my bracket. Except for last year when everyone picked UConn, it feels like my national title pick never survives the first weekend. I would have gladly sacrificed my bracket for Pearl to lose in the second round.

This sounds nice but I keep hearing "Take pie while pie is passing". Beat Hurley now.

UConn is outplaying Florida in all facets except the 3 point line. They are only 5/24. If they get a couple to fall in the last 7 minutes they will win

If Florida would make their layups, they would be winning.

 

[PasadenaIllini]

If Florida would make their layups, they would be winning.

If Florida made a halfway decent foul shot percentage, they would be winning.

I can't take Hurley having even an outside shot at a 3 peat

 

[Zorak]

I don't understand how anyone who isn't from Connecticut could cheer for them with that arrogant jag Hurley on the sideline.

 

[Heisenbobble]

How anyone can root for the asswipe, Hurley, is beyond me. This game is making me physically ill.

 

[CV Illini]

My desire for Hurley to exit the tournament on the first weekend is greater than my desire for another SEC loss(although only slightly).

 

[BrimfieldBomber]

Here we go.....Florida regaining the lead

 

[NarrowJ]

Would love it if Hurley was blasted into outer space, though just removing him from this tournament today would be acceptable enough

 

[OrangeBlue98]

I've said it a lot before, but in most years your eventual national champion has to win a game where they don't play particularly well, but they grind out some sort of game in the high 50s-low 60s. If Florida ends up winning this game, this may be their "grind it out game".

Clayton from Florida has some onions!

A couple of stone cold 3s late for Florida.

Just setting themselves up for an offensive rebound!

 

[OrangeBlue98]

The guy in the Florida shirt cheering while his girlfriend stands nervously in a Duke jersey was a pretty cool TV shot.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

This is going to end up a 12 point margin.

Let’s see if Hurley gets into it with some fans on his way out

 

[BillyBob1]

How can the self proclaimed greatest coach in the game not make it to the sweet sixteen?

 

[PasadenaIllini]

Florida are their own worst enemy. They are doing everything they can to make this as difficult as possible for themselves.

Probably should have been T'd up at that one timeout late, but the officials exercised a lot of discretion to not T him up.

I wish they would have. Would have been chef's kiss to have Danny put the final nail in his own coffin because he can't control his emotions on the sideline.
