According to both Ken Pomeroy's stats and the naked eye, Florida has the best offense Missouri will face this season and the second-best defense (behind Louisville's). Their per-possession season averages are basically what Missouri did to Nicholls State (Mizzou had 1.20 points per possession, NSU had 0.87), only the Gators have come up with that average while playing teams like Wisconsin, Arizona, Marquette, Kansas State and Florida State. Their strength of schedule has not been incredible, and they have lost to both Arizona (on the road) and Kansas State (in Kansas City); if anything else, the fact that they are 0-2 in games decided by single digits tells you there is extreme benefit in keeping things close for as long as possible. Of course ... they have also only played two games decided by single digits. Only three of their wins have come by fewer than 18 points. They typically don't waste time in sticking their foot on your throat.
And they do it with a sllllllllow pace.
It's one thing that Florida is capable of beating teams like Georgia, Marquette and Florida State by 25 points or more. It's another to build those margins while playing the slowest possible game.
In other words...
...I'm pretty damn impressed with this team, injuries or no injuries. They take good shots (from everywhere on the floor), they prevent you from doing the same, and they rebound the heck out of the ball. Basketball's pretty easy when you can do that. Their 3's weren't falling against Kansas State, and they couldn't stop turning the ball over against Arizona (a game in which they held an 11-point lead midway through the second half), but those aren't season-wide tendencies. This is the best team in the SEC when healthy, and it might be the best when dinged up. And as we'll see below, Florida is pretty damn dinged up right now.

Where the Gators are weakest
It is pretty difficult to single out too many Florida weaknesses, but to some degree, there are a few of them. The Gators really don't draw fouls very well; it typically doesn't hurt them because they are so good at spacing themselves out and creating open shots, but it does prevent some free points here and there. They allow a lot of 3-point attempts, but quite a few of them are of the "well-guarded, but screw it, we're losing big" variety. When they foul, they probably foul guards, meaning their opponents' FT% tends to be pretty good. And they do have a rather thin bench, with only eight primary contributors, most of whom are fighting through some sort of injury at the moment.
But really, if you have these types of weaknesses instead of "they can't make shots" or "they can't buy a rebound," you're probably pretty damn good.
Where they are best
They are experienced (33rd in Pomeroy's Experience measure) with four juniors and three seniors among their primary contributors. They are tall enough (94th in Effective Height). They take good shots (8th in 2PT%, 40th in 3PT%), and they force you to take bad shots (4th in Def. 2PT%, 48th in Def. 3PT%). And they're in the Top 25 in both offensive and defensive rebounding. That's a lot of strength for one paragraph.
Florida's Season to Date
- Wins (Team Rank is from KenPom.com)
No. 12 Wisconsin (74-56)
No. 39 Marquette (82-49)
vs. No. 53 Middle Tennessee (66-45)
at No. 71 Florida State (72-47)
No. 106 UCF (79-66)
at No. 130 LSU (74-52)
vs. No. 157 Air Force (78-61)
No. 183 Georgia (77-44)
No. 199 Savannah State (58-40)
at No. 227 Yale (79-58)
No. 323 SE Louisiana (82-43)
No. 338 Alabama State (84-35) - Losses
at No. 15 Arizona (64-65)
vs. No. 46 Kansas State (61-67)
Average Score, Florida versus Top 50: Florida 70.3, Opponent 59.3 (+11.0)
Average Score, Florida vs. No. 51-150: Florida 72.8, Opponent 52.5 (+20.3)
Average Score, Florida versus No. 151+: Florida 76.3, Opponent 46.8 (+29.5)
Again, they have indeed lost twice, away from home, to Top 50 teams. They have also faced two Top 50 teams in Gainesville and won by an average score of 78.0 to 52.5. So yeah ... maybe Mizzou can get the job done against them with a full-strength Laurence Bowers in Columbia in another month. But they're probably too good for the Tiger team that will face them on Saturday.

* AdjGS = a take-off of the Game Score metric (definition here) accepted by a lot of basketball stat nerds. It redistributes a team's points based not only on points scored, but also by giving credit for assists, rebounds (offensive & defensive), steals, blocks, turnovers and fouls. It is a stat intended to determine who had the biggest overall impact on the game itself, instead of just how many balls a player put through a basket.
- Highest Usage%: Boynton (23%), Young (23%), Rosario (23%)
- Highest Floor%: Prather (53%), Murphy (47%), Young (44%)

- Highest %Fouled: Young (19%), Yeguete (19%), Boynton (10%)
- Highest %T/O: Yeguete (12%), Young (10%), Prather (8%)
The major thing Missouri has going for it in this one: Despite Bowers' injury, Missouri is the healthier overall team.
Erik Murphy has a broken rib, missed the Yale game and came off the bench against Georgia. Scottie Wilbekin has a broken finger, but hasn't missed any time because of it. Mike Rosario sat out Saturday's matchup with LSU with a sprained ankle, but should be making his way back into the lineup this week. Will Yeguete has tendonitis in his knee and is getting further tests to see if there is more damage.
And now Casey Prather joins that list.
The junior swingman suffered a high ankle sprain in Saturday's win over LSU and will be out for 10-14 days as a result.
That article was from Tuesday. We'll see how this lineup takes shape tonight against A&M. But yeah, of Florida's top seven players, only two (Boynton and Young) are seemingly 100%, and Florida does have to play Missouri fewer than 48 hours after a long road trip. As a result, this is probably the best possible time for Mizzou to head to Gainesville, even without Bowers. It might not make a difference in the end ... but it could.
Keys to the Game
- Strength down low. Patric Young is excellent (and healthy) on the interior; he is one of four Gators averaging at least 11 points per game, and he's a solid shot blocker. But of Florida's three primary bigs, he's the only healthy one. Murphy is limited with a rib injury, and Yeguete might or might not play. With Prather out, one should probably expect quite a bit of four-guard play from Florida, which could give the Gators plenty of speed around the perimeter but could lead to an advantage on the inside if Alex Oriakhi is playing well and Mizzou is getting anything from players like Tony Criswell and Stefan Jankovic.
Actually, let's put it another way: If Mizzou is going to win this game, the Tigers have to create an advantage on the inside. It's hard to do without Laurence Bowers (who, at this time, is still a question mark), but it isn't impossible. And it is an absolute necessity.
- Brown & Ross. It is quickly becoming the key to Mizzou games. If Jabari Brown and Earnest Ross can make at least 40-50% of their shots from the field, Mizzou can hang with just about anybody. They made 25% against Ole Miss, however, and Mizzou was lucky to stay within 20 points. If these two are making their jumpers, Phil Pressey has some lovely drive-and-dish options and can quickly start pulling a defense's strings. But if they aren't, then Pressey starts taking more shots from long range, and Ross starts forcing the issue (rarely a good thing), and ... bad things happen. There will likely be a hand in the shooter's face on most jumpers against this Florida team; but Mizzou will have to make those jumpers regardless.
- Ball control. Despite a terribly slow pace, Florida is forcing nearly 15 turnovers per game. As we've discussed a few times this season, Mizzou is not a team that is going to create a ball-handling advantage in most games, but in each of the Tigers' three losses, they were absolutely devastated in this category. That simply can't happen if Mizzou is to beat a Top 10 team on the road, even one that is rather dinged up.
Ken Pomeroy projects a 74-59 Florida win. That projection will change a bit after tonight's UF-A&M game, obviously, but while I'm semi-optimistic that Missouri can keep it closer than that against this banged up Florida lineup, I'm only so optimistic. We'll say Florida 76, Missouri 65. Prove me wrong, boys.

Sexy doesn't smell exactly alike to everyone, though; if it did, we'd all be spritzing on Chanel No. 5 day and night. This Valentine's, get caught out wearing a scent that's just the right balance of flirty and carnal for you, whether you have a massive sweet tooth, love Anthropologie, or just hate perfume altogether. Source: Thinkstock Absolutely Charming What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 You know that gorgeous scent that wafts across you every time you walk into Anthropologie? Juliette Has a Gun Miss Charming ($85) smells just like that. It's sexy in a comfortable way that's alluring, but never overtly so. Source: Thinkstock 1 / 10 Huile Be Right Back What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If perfume isn't generally your thing, but you want an alluring scent for Valentine's, consider Nars Monoï de Tahiti oil ($59). It's just coconut oil with tiare jasmine macerated in it, but the scent is unbelievably pretty and soft. It's a true skin scent, and applying the oil hydrates and gives you a nice glow, too. It's also great if you want something more natural smelling. Source: Thinkstock 2 / 10 Absolutely Bombed What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If big, bold, and mouthwateringly sweet sounds appealing to you, you absolutely have to try Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb ($150). It was an instant classic when it debuted, and it's the ultimate fruity floral, like cotton candy and jasmine made into a sticky candy. Plus, it makes people want to get very close indeed. Source: Thinkstock 3 / 10 Sweet Elixir What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you like a bit of dirt in your fragrances, or even wear men's scents for daytime, Aromatics Elixir ($48) is an excellent scent for romance. It contains vetiver, the note that often makes men's cologne so appealing, but it's garlanded with ylang ylang and jasmine for a prettier, more floral result. It's been one of Clinique's bestsellers for 40 years now, and for good reason. It's a wonderful scent to try even after Valentine's, too. Source: Thinkstock 4 / 10 Aw Sugar, Sugar What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 You may remember Aquolina Pink Sugar from college, where it seemed like there was at least one bottle of the sugar cane- and pink pepper-scented stuff on every hall. If you loved it and left it because it felt a little, well, saccharine, though, you'll want to give its grown-up sister, Pink Sugar Sensual ($30), a shot. This newer take on the scent plays down the sweetness, and adds a little more woody spice, for a fragrance that has all the freshness you remember, plus a more mature edge. Source: Thinkstock 6 / 10 Oh, to Be Desired What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If something luxe is in your budget, don't go without giving Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Desire ($195) a sniff. Few fragrances offer an opening as amazing as this one. It's all real hothouse white flowers, brimming with frangipani and gardenia before the eventual dry down to a subtle, sexy tuberose. If you love true florals, this is a gorgeous, sensual take on the genre. Source: Thinkstock 6 / 10 The Real McCoy What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you love vintage perfumery and feel your sexiest wearing winged eyeliner and crimson lipstick, Shalimar ($71) could well become your signature fragrance. Created by Guerlain in 1925, it's one of fragrance's most enduring scents, and the perfect floral for those who love the scent of traditional perfume. Source: Thinkstock 7 / 10 Forbidden Fruit What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Lolita Lempicka ($48) is remarkable for its gorgeous bottle, but even more remarkable for the juice inside. It's a unique blend of licorice, almond, and vanilla that smells drop-dead gorgeous and feminine without being girlie at all. It's the little black negligee of fragrances: soft, but with plenty of impact once it's been noticed. Source: Thinkstock 8 / 10 Ginger Snap What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The thing that makes Tocca Brigitte ($68) such a special fragrance is the gingerbread bite at the beginning. It smells like warmth and comfort, but it also has a sensuous little zip that carries you into its rose and sandalwood dry down. Perfect for giving yourself a confidence boost before that big date. Source: Thinkstock 9 / 10 You're My Angel What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you've never heard of or tried Thierry Mugler Angel ($78), do yourself a favor and give it a go. It's a highly divisive scent, but the people who love it can't get enough, and it's the perfume that started the entire good-enough-to-eat gourmand genre. It smells like cotton candy and vanilla caramel, and anyone with a sweet tooth is bound to be utterly entranced.

AAC, ACC, Atlantic 10, Big East, Big 12, SEC, Mountain West, Pac 12. All starting today, PLUS: the Patriot League title game!
Wisconsin and Virginia played a 57 possession game and no one broke 50 points. At least no one watched the game, right? RIGHT?
The Cavaliers played with only 10 men for 89 minutes of this match, but they still found enough opportunities to prevail in the Sweet 16 round of the 2013 College Cup. Join us as we recap and say farewell and thank you to eight Golden Eagles.
It's the round of 16 and Marquette will yet again take on one of the best teams in the country. Will they respond again and make this already great season even better?
Good news: the Golden Eagles played the Blue Devils pretty even for a lot of this game. Bad news: "A lot" isn't all of the game.
Volleyball looks to take the Big East title for themselves as they close out the regular season, and women's basketball hosts #2 Duke.
Upsides: Beautiful day, huge crowd. Downsides: Duke's really good.
We give you all the info you're going to need to be ready for Duke on Sunday at noon Central.
We drag this feature out of the mothballs to occupy some time over the summer, and in this case, to talk about Sunday's men's lacrosse game.
The last four automatic bids will be handed out today while we wait for the NCAA to reveal the bracket this evening...
