Go GATORS. In fairness, there is also a column on ESPN.com that is entitled Top Twenty Reasons UCLA Will Beat Florida--but its just wishfull thinking on the author's part!

This one is a good read though. Quite a bit left out for excerpting.

Gators whould wear Microsoft logos on their uniforms. I don't know of any winning sports franchise that is so thoroughly hated.

Maybe the old Yankees.

Winning being the operative word. UF is in the top 5 All Sports every year if they aren't # 1, so lots of teams get beaten by them. It still seems that more people hate Duke in Basketball than they do anything else, but maybe thats just me.

Hey, I see a Tarheel made it to the thread. Actually, if I were at the game, I'd prolly be mighty distracted by that UCLA Danceteam. Yikes, those are some attractive ladies!

Taurean Green and Humphrey are the keys. Limit the turnovers and hit the threes and the Gators should be fine.

71-67 Florida.


Go Gators!

Winning does gather some hostility, but I suspect Florida's distinction goes back to Spurrier and his personality.

If UCLA wins I think I finish tied for first place in the Freeper Pick'em Challenge.

I had UCONN beating UCLA in the finals.

Most of the hatred goes back to the old Head Ball Coach.

Speaking of Spurrier, he deserves a lot of credit for Florida's basketball program being where it is. Most schools football and basketball programs go against each other, but Spurrier helped Donovan in the early years with recruiting.

True. The post players should play about even and the Florida perimeter guys should have the edge.

I hate to admit it, but here in FR before the tournament started, I did pick UCLA to win it all. :(

I sure do feel much better about this game, then I did back in 2000 against Michigan State.
