Show Me My Opponent, 2022-23: Florida

Ah, what a fun weekend that was. Tennessee’s #1 in KenPom, #2 in the AP, top two in pretty much every metrics site, and all they gotta do is go on the road to play a 12-9 team that’s 0-9 against Top 50 opponents and 12-0 against everyone else. Pretty normal stuf-

Well, the past is the past! Right? Right?

Tennessee travels to what is supposedly called the ExacTech Arena but is forever the O-Dome to me to play 12-9 Florida. This is a Florida team I’ve been strongly saying is better than their record, but at some point a team that wants to Do Something has gotta win a game. The hope for Tennessee fans is that, in Year One of Todd Golden and in desperate need of a signature win, this is not the game for it.

BELOW THE LINE ($): the second-most important thing Florida can do is not lose to Mike White
