Florida vs. Vermont

Game 8
November 30, 2007
Florida vs. Vermont
St. Pete Times Forum
Tampa, Fla.

Game Notes

• Florida and Vermont are meeting for just the second time and the first time in nearly 30 years, with UF taking a 93-67 decision in Burlington in on Dec. 23, 1977.
• The Gators are appearing at the St. Pete Times Forum for the second year in a row and playing in the building for the fourth time - the Gators defeated FAMU a year ago, won their 2003 NCAA Tournament opener against Sam Houston and fell in the Second Round to Michigan State in the building, as they own a 2-1 all-time mark at the Forum.
• The Gators have won seven consecutive neutral site games in the state of Florida since losing to Michigan State in Tampa in 2003 - 3-0 in Jacksonville, 2-0 in Miami, 1-0 in Sunrise, 1-0 in Tampa.

Gators are looking good so far. Calathes hit his first 3 pointer in 2 games. 52-32 Gators at half time.

The game is on FSN if anyone is trying to watch
