Eric Fawcett (Gator Country) and Neil W. Blackmon (Saturday Down South) break down Florida's 64-50 loss at No. 5 Kansas State. Keyontae Johnson, playing against his alma mater, poured in a double-double for the Wildcats. The guys discuss Florida's woeful offense, which has now produced 4 of the worst 10 outings in the KenPom era in 2022-23. What can be done to fix it, why it's more than just "missing shots", re-spacing issues and how Florida's actions aren't run crisply are among the topics visited. Plus, just how good is this Gators defense?

The guys also discuss 2024 recruiting, Colin Castleton's case for SEC defensive player of the year, and other listener questions.

Finally, a breakdown of Florida's upcoming home tilt with No. 2 Tennessee. Why the Vols defense is so good, the versatility of this Tennessee team, and the problem that is Zakai Zeigler.
