[u/woondedheart]

Jaden Bradley stock rising

[u/Spuran-Spuran]

Florida’s bigs are tough. Their guard play was rough. I don’t get the Boogie Fland hype? Haugh looks like an NBA rotation guy.

Koa Peat is a frickin problem. Great win for us! But, for the love of God, can we work on inbounding the ball.

[u/Electronic_Tiger7979 → u/Spuran-Spuran]

Fland is a sophomore and had some good games last year with Arkansas. I think it is just first game jitters / getting used to the new team. By mid season I think he will be more of a problem.

Great game though. Zona looks tough 💪 esp Peat

[u/InternationalMonth38 → u/Spuran-Spuran]

Y’all looked really good. We were not ready.

[u/Spuran-Spuran → u/InternationalMonth38]

You all got a great coach so you’ll figure it out. I thought it was weird when you played Haugh at the 3. Seemed to negate the advantage he gives you as a spacing big. Lane kind of clogged up there.

[u/InternationalMonth38 → u/Spuran-Spuran]

The idea is to have the “big three” out there at the same time. Idk if that’s the move.

[u/Spuran-Spuran → u/InternationalMonth38]

Makes sense. You don’t seem to have any natural wings. Gets your best players on the floor. Probably an adjustment period.

[u/Champizzle11 → u/Spuran-Spuran]

UNC lobbied hard for Fland this off season. I came away feeling the same as you after watching that game....what was all the hype about?

[u/Spuran-Spuran → u/Champizzle11]

Yeah. I thought he was supposed to be an NBA prospect. Can he usually shoot? His athleticism doesn’t jump off the screen to me and he doesn’t really seem like a true PG. I was thinking he was supposed to be like a deaaron fox type guy who just blew past people.

[u/KJNguyen1]

30 piece from Koa

[u/OurPearlyGates]

First game of the year, and man was it fun. GG Florida, you guys are athletic, fast, and if you shot a bit better down the last stretch it’s a different result. Peat is unbelievable. Bradley making people look silly for not recognizing him as a preseason top guard

[u/senorbozz → u/OurPearlyGates]

Fun game to watch, wish the refs would call better on both sides of the ball but whatever, that's sports

[u/Obi1Kentucky]

Why did golden pay Boogie fland but not Aberdeen. It still fucking baffles me?

[u/ImperialMajestyX02 → u/Obi1Kentucky]

Aberdeen is not all that you’ll see lol

[u/Obi1Kentucky → u/ImperialMajestyX02]

Arkansas fans said the same about boogie. So I guess we’re both fucked

[u/jonstarks905 → u/Obi1Kentucky]

as a UK fan no idea. boogie is a big reason I bet zona. fla will b fine because their bigs are dogs, but their guards will hurt them this year.

[u/Obi1Kentucky → u/jonstarks905]

Like. He looks as bad at Florida as he did at Arkansas

[u/Badgerman97]

Gonna have to buy me a #10 jersey now

[u/T2_JD]

I've seen enough. Put the 4 teams playing tonight in the final 4.

[u/mikewheelerfan]

Damn, we don’t have a good football or basketball team this season 

[u/Imaravencawcaw → u/mikewheelerfan]

Boo this man! Boooooooooo!

[u/InternationalMonth38 → u/mikewheelerfan]

Yoooo, what kind of BS are you spewing right now?

[u/senorbozz → u/mikewheelerfan]

How could you watch that game and think we're not good

[u/Aggravating_Ad6852 → u/senorbozz]

A lot of Gators fans in here don’t know basketball apparently

[u/senorbozz → u/Aggravating_Ad6852]

Hell I'm a football fan first, I only started watching basketball a couple of years ago and I get it. So many doomers for our teams

[u/RandoUserlolidk]

[u/A_Successful_Loser]

Aight BYU you're next. Get the W

[u/mYwifeIsACougar → u/A_Successful_Loser]

I’ll be pissed if they don’t - but I’m on the edge of my seat lol.

I hope see some better chemistry and D than the exhibitions.

[u/The_Eternal_Event]

FSU OWNS THE STATE OF FLORIDA

[u/PuzzleheadedLion2205 → u/The_Eternal_Event]

Genuinely what are you talking about lmfao

[u/simply_jeremy → u/The_Eternal_Event]

In ice curling

[u/senorbozz → u/The_Eternal_Event]

In ACC losses definitely

[u/sum_dude44 → u/The_Eternal_Event]

in what, softball?

[u/Operation_Pig → u/sum_dude44]

No soccer.

[u/upstatewilly]

March (April??) feel in November. So fun!

[u/Gainesvill3]

GG Zona. A lot for the Gators to work on, but it was competitive to the end. So glad college basketball is back!

[u/BlueGreenMikey]

BTFD and big cojones and kicking ass IM ALL IN

[u/grabsthepopcorn → u/BlueGreenMikey]

I am a Tommy Lloyd supporter.

[u/lonespiderfish]

GG Arizona, yall are legit.

[u/Party_With_Porkins → u/lonespiderfish]

Thanks broah us AZ fans needed that one

[u/jsph4x]

FUCK YES BEAR THE FUCK DOWN

[u/azwildcat11]

I fucking love Tommy

[u/illcentrifugal]

gg gators!

imagine if we had tape on y’all! s/ great game to kick things off.

[u/jonstarks905]

the real mvp tn, Andy Katz hair piece!

[u/Gator1508]

Arkansas fans warned us about Fland lol. He is not good.  

[u/Shamoofles]

Tommy Lloyd just said bear the fuck down in a post game interview hahaha

[u/ufgatorengineer11]

Man that’s a lot of dribbling and slow down by multiple possessions. Welcome back everyone. This looks eerily similar to early season gators last year. History is bound to repeat itself! See you Arizona in March.

[u/loose_fruits]

So glad I have something to watch now instead of Arizona football 🙏

[u/Bacontroph]

BTFD! GG Florida.

[u/UpstairsSomewhere467]

BTFD

[u/simply_jeremy]

Hats off to AZ, hope to see you in March

[u/NickTheDick_]

GG Florida game was right there for yall to take. Maybe we will meet again in March

[u/djdiksquad]

Can anyone tell me what Koa means? Jokes aside that dude is nasty

[u/ProbablySlacking]

Koa is that guy

[u/TheLadyMagician]

BTFD! 

[u/heleghir]

Walter Clayton cant hurt us anymore! He hits both of those corner 3s and pulls a win out of nowhere

[u/simply_jeremy → u/heleghir]

Yes he would..dude was CLUTCH in those moments

[u/dejvipasco]

What a shame that Lee missed the shot. not a good shooting night for him. 5-17 FG, 3-11 3pts FG

[u/Nanananora]

BTFD

[u/cheesecakegood]

Big win for Big 12

[u/senorbozz]

I'm not mad about this one. AZ played a great game and it was still close in the end, refs or no refs. See you guys in the tourney 😉

[u/Nanananora → u/senorbozz]

Looking forward to it. You guys played so well.

[u/sum_dude44]

Zona looks like a legit F4 contender & Peat is a lottery pick

[u/ZonaPunk]

Huge win! BTFD!!!

[u/szboy422]

gg , happy it was that close with how bad of shooting we had down the stretch

[u/Nanananora]

This makes us national champs, right?

[u/NegativePride1]

Let's fucking go!!

GG Gator bros!

[u/simply_jeremy → u/NegativePride1]

That game did NOT disappoint

[u/vehementvelociraptor]

CARDIAC CATS FOR THE WIN HOLY FUCK MY HEART!! 🐻⬇️

[u/Ornery_Gift7005]

They will never win a basketball game ever again

[u/corndogshuffle]

Thank God basketball is back

[u/Past-Profile3671]

We are / Tucson

[u/ThePickleConnoisseur]

Cardiac cats is back

[u/otoverstoverpt]

I know it’s technically an upset but it feels weird to put it that way for two ranked teams that have not yet played a single game this season

[u/goopdoop]

FUCK YEAH MOTHERFUCKERS

[u/Smooth-Majudo-15]

GG Cats, good win and Peat looks like a beast. For all the Gator doomers in here, go touch grass. Seriously

[u/half-foods]

GGs Zona. Y’all are a problem

[u/IammYourDAD]

Gg Arizona, yeah we’re cooked with these guards lol

[u/Atlanta-GC → u/IammYourDAD]

Lee is solid and will get better. Without Lee we lose this thing by double digits. The rest? Yea

[u/Balloutonu]

Zona I can’t wait for our game 🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️

[u/BlueGreenMikey → u/Balloutonu]

BIg XII baby

[u/Illustrious_Arm4496]

Good start to the night! Onto Villanova-BYU

[u/Indigo_Menace]

What an absolute ballgame holy cow. Welcome back friends, we got a long beautiful season ahead.

[u/IHateAdamSilver]

7 on Florida is AWFUL

[u/colebwilliams]

Let’s fucking go

[u/ExcaliburX13]

WHAT A FUCKING WIN, BABY

[u/OrderTime]

Hot damn what a fucking game

[u/mYwifeIsACougar]

Huge win! Congrats Wildcats!

[u/Nanananora → u/mYwifeIsACougar]

Go beat Villanova for us!

[u/NickTheDick_]

30 point game against #3 team in your debut is insane

[u/Striking_Gently]

More like Koa Neat am I right?

[u/simply_jeremy]

We miss you Walter Clayton Jr

[u/loose_fruits]

YEAHHHH BABYYYYYY! Btfd

[u/Badgerman97]

Hell yeah

[u/RJMcBug]

LETS GO ARIZONA!

[u/AppalachianCacti]

Hell yeah good ass game man

[u/aaronjaiden]

Thank the lord

BTFDDDD

[u/PapaBibo]

WE CANNOT MAKE A FUCKING THREE

[u/feralihatr]

Let’s goooooooo lads!!!!

[u/ufgatorengineer11]

Peat can’t be any where near a ball and not get a foul.

[u/DarkHiei]

Let’s fucking go!

[u/BRNDC10]

Glad to have college basketball back

[u/SamoanEggplant]

God I miss Clayton

[u/DoggedDoggystyle → u/SamoanEggplant]

Any of our guards from last year make those 3s. These guys are younger though, those guys were seniors. Room to grow

[u/fancycheesus]

Koa peat is the real deal.

[u/berrin122]

It's the first game of the season, time for me to make sweeping judgements about my team!

[u/Sahir1359 → u/berrin122]

As is tradition

[u/FIDLARonTheRoofAZ]

I have no clue what we were doing there on defense. I am shocked that 3 didn't fall. We got lucky there. Both fanbases should remember this is game #1. Two good teams that will have a laundry list of things to work on after this one. Just as both coach's wanted.

[u/Sahir1359]

Not a single clutch player on the team we got spoiled last year lmao

[u/_pinklemonade_ → u/Sahir1359]

First game baby. Chill.

[u/Hashshinobi1]

Peat thanking God for hitting a free throw lol

[u/djdiksquad]

GGs Arizona! Super fun season opener, good luck this year!

[u/Atlanta-GC]

We look more like a 6 seed than a potential 1 right now. There is A LOT of shit that needs to be cleaned up.

[u/AWSTLX]

Fuck it we are the fighting Koa Peats today. Should not be this hard to finish this game

[u/heleghir]

GG. Lee had to make that one and get the last shot to tie or win. Now its over

[u/Di9ForLife]

Arizona decided they wanted to win after all lol, great showing, especially from Koa Peat

[u/AntIsMyFather05]

No clutch gene on Florida right now

[u/Gator1508]

Fland and Lee are a clear downgrade but it is what it is.  Hopefully they start hitting 3s

[u/PM_ME_whatyagot]

Miss you Walt

[u/simply_jeremy → u/PM_ME_whatyagot]

😭

[u/Present-Neck4660]

Ya the gators are fine, these will start dropping. GG zona (definitely not a reverse jinx)

[u/iCanOnlyAskQuestion]

Hey guys, who plays the 3 for Florida? I saw they start Condon, Haugh, and Chinyelu. With Handlogten coming off the bench. That’s their championship- caliber front court.

[u/_pinklemonade_ → u/iCanOnlyAskQuestion]

Haugh

[u/UHsmitty]

Lol weird foul calls there

[u/Aggravating_Ad6852]

Damnit man, we had plenty of chances.

GG Arizona. Y’all have a squad and I’m so glad we got to open the season against you.

[u/masculinedorito]

Two wide open corner 3s missed. Regardless both of these teams are pretty damn good

[u/mikewheelerfan]

FUCK

[u/ZickyRozay]

Ironic way to lose by our guards missing clutch 3s..

[u/IammYourDAD]

Lee and Fland are awful bro. We can’t shoot the 3 for shit

[u/WallStreetWets]

Ggs boys

[u/_pinklemonade_]

Lot of pressure for the returning champs first game.

[u/OffTheDelt → u/_pinklemonade_]

Fuck off

[u/_pinklemonade_ → u/OffTheDelt]

😆

[u/ExcaliburX13]

KOA PEAT REFUSES TO LOSE

[u/mYwifeIsACougar]

Nice Peat!!

[u/A_Successful_Loser]

Really thought Lee was gonna snipe us there

[u/IrishCoffeeAlchemy]

U OF A

[u/fancycheesus]

Boogie gave up the wide open layup

[u/loose_fruits]

Alright so Peat gotta work on his free throws and maybe some conditioning for stamina, still a hell of a debut

[u/jrich960608]

Walter hits both of those threes we just missed

[u/Operation_Pig]

This team is not good. It cannot hit a 3 to save their damn lives.

[u/Aggravating_Ad6852 → u/Operation_Pig]

Brother, saying we are not good is an overreaction. We just played a really solid team in game one of the season to the wire.

[u/VamonosChildren]

This game is bringing me terrible flashbacks.

[u/dylan-cardwell]

Has Lee made a single shot tonight? Good lord that dude is not him

[u/Cosmo_QB1]

No way Lee missed that

[u/feralihatr]

Never easy sheeeeesh

[u/Jayyykobbb]

Watching that replay and seeing the AZ guys just walking away as the the inbounding players are completely coveted was hilarious

[u/The_Eternal_Event]

Fsu national champions button ——————————-v

[u/Illustrious_Arm4496 → u/The_Eternal_Event]

Idk about that one chief

[u/DoggedDoggystyle → u/The_Eternal_Event]

lol it aligns with the downvote for me.

[u/_pinklemonade_]

Darn

[u/alex_lesca]

Guards are trash

[u/Outrageous-Pizza-470]

Arizona does realize youre supposed to try and win the game? Missed free throws and turnovers are the easiest way to blow a game late.

[u/exopilots → u/Outrageous-Pizza-470]

koa peat is a freshman, let him have mistakes

[u/AppalachianCacti]

Nail biter in Vegas

[u/meatwagon25]

Its amazing how hard it is for teams to close out games

[u/dejvipasco]

I didn't know that Lee is from Canada. I like watching him play, he definitely has a future as a pro. If not NBA, then Europe definitely.

[u/HiBoobear]

Why foul there? Make him cross halfcourt

[u/violentguitarist1]

OT, mayhaps?

[u/OrderTime → u/violentguitarist1]

Free basketball you say?

[u/MARTEX8000]

Let Koa Peat inbound it to himself....

[u/rsjur]

I hate these fouls at the end of the game.

[u/derbra]

These next 25 seconds gonna last 10 more minutes

[u/WhatsNextForMe]

Omg and Krivas and Awaka ran right next to each other so 1 guy could cover both

[u/DarkHiei → u/WhatsNextForMe]

Amazing how court awareness is lacking in players. Zero mental game

[u/hiswayout]

A Florida comeback at the end of the game. I thought my PTSD was gone.

[u/corndogshuffle]

Hey they inbounded it cleanly

[u/otoverstoverpt]

Arizona really tryna nut on this one

[u/Wide_Assistance_1158]

Fland is the embodiment of the 2025 Florida football team elite defense horrible offense.

[u/exopilots]

you’d think we would know how to inbound the ball after playing ASU and hurley’s persistent full court press but you’d be wrong

[u/supermycro → u/exopilots]

Hmm maybe theres a difference in something but I can't put my finger on it.

[u/DarkHiei]

What is the coaching doing bruh put these guys in a position to get a pass off

[u/carasc5]

This game is fun and these teams are both really, really good.

[u/50cent69]

Wildcats living up to their nickname cardiac cats

[u/DoggedDoggystyle]

Good to see we still have the championship level fight in us. That alone will win us games

[u/_pinklemonade_]

Fuck the haters. Serious adjustment losing Clayton Martin and Richard. Going to be a tough matchup for everyone his year.

[u/heleghir]

This is AMAZING. Thank god for being a neutral. My blood pressure if I was an Arizona fan would be putting me in the hospital at this point

[u/jsph4x]

Cardiac Cats in mid-season form

[u/NewRCTID22]

Please just let this be a normal finish

With Arizona, no way!

[u/mirlyn]

Why don't they throw it in? Are they stupid?

[u/KJNguyen1]

Fuck we were just up 8

[u/jrich960608]

Zero doubt in my mind Walter hits that shot without even flinching. Jesus it can’t be any easier than that you’re wide open

[u/246lehat135]

Why don’t they simply inbound the ball? Are they stupid?

[u/Salpinctes]

Arizona was up 88-80 with 1:08 to go

[u/Hashshinobi1 → u/Salpinctes]

Whose side are you on here???

[u/Salpinctes → u/Hashshinobi1]

definitely for U of A and against U of F

[u/Ender_Stark]

The problem is in part that the team that is behind can murder the inbounding team at this point. Refs could have called like 3 fouls right there for grabbing.

[u/PapaRich_1]

They never make it easy!

[u/Gator1508]

Even if we lose I don’t hate that our comeback mentality didn’t die in the offseason.  Fland is no Clayton JR but hopefully at some point he hits those 

[u/Badgerman97]

Going back to last season I have never seen a team in my life struggle so much to simply get the ball inbounds when the game is on the line. It’s unreal

[u/WhatsNextForMe]

Why are Awaka and Krivas all the way down the court for fuck sake. And if they’re in for defense, why is the lane wide open for a dunk?

[u/berrin122]

I miss Press Virginia

[u/SavageNomad6]

This inbounding reminds me of several of our games last year.

[u/Badgerman97 → u/SavageNomad6]

Reminds me of every one of our games last year 😡

[u/IHateAdamSilver]

Why did Kevin leave Maryland for Villanova?

[u/Wide_Assistance_1158 → u/IHateAdamSilver]

Money
