I dont see the reason about Florida being able to put up points against a DEF like UCLA. If George Mason could have defended the perimeter better (you saw the discrepancies in 3's between the two teams) and even gotten a hand in Humphrey's face it would have been a lot closer and Mason could have even pulled it off.
UCLA's D is solid though. Should be a good game.
Besides, Noah is prob. the ugliest dude playing ball. If he gets any more face time man, I'll throw something at the TV!!

I think people over estimate UCLA based on their performance vs LSU, They needed a lot of luck just to get to the final 4.
I think its pretty even.. both teams have long athletic bigmen that has post moves and can handle the rock on the break. Both has a tall and dynamic wing player that will neutralize each other, and both has good point guards and convert 3 pointers well.
I think UCLA has a better coach in terms of schemes and adjustments, but Billy Donovan is better at matchups and substitutions...
Im going with Florida because i think they have better bigmen and a tad more athletic overall.

One thing I agree with, Noah is prob the ugliest guy to play hoops since Patrick Ewing.
But... G Mason did bring the same game they played (and beat) the other teams with. They were simply outmatched in every aspect (not to mention the fact that the Gators had to be tackled before a foul was called, which kept it even closer than it would have been). UF has hit 3s against all their opponents, been able to get around almost any defense thrown at them, and I am very confident will do the same against UCLA.
Our big guys inside are a huge threat, and when you step in to team up on them you leave a guy open - and we hit 3s. Not luck, not poor defense, its just hard to cover. Bottom line.
