UF next at bama. It's the first of back to back weeks playing games on Thursday and Saturday. This week is at bama and UT at home. Playing games in this manner is a good tune up for the NCAA tourney where games are played with 5 days prep time and then 2 days between the games.

There are rumors that Chris Walker will be cleared to play after the bama game on Thursday night. The kid is going to be outstanding, but it will take him a few games to get worked into the rotation.

Jeremy Foley texted Pat Dooley overnight that the NCAA hasn't cleared Chris Walker to play this Saturday. Given that, there has been no change in Chris' status.

The saga surrounding heralded Florida forward Chris Walker is more than a month old, with the school still unsure when, or if, the freshman McDonald's All-American forward will step on the floor for the Gators.
On Tuesday, Florida coach Billy Donovan denied a report that Walker will be eligible for UF's next home game Saturday against Tennessee. Walker has yet to be cleared by NCAA for competition since joining the Gators at practice on Dec. 16.
“We're hopeful he gets back soon, but there's been no indication that there's any truth to that at all,” Donovan said.
According to multiple reports, including one by Yahoo.com's Jeff Eisenberg, Walker has not been cleared by the NCAA yet due to impermissible benefits he received in high school. Donovan would not confirm or deny knowledge of Walker receiving impermissible benefits.
“In terms of all the details and hang-ups, I don't know all those details because when there's something going on like this, there's ethical conduct forms that are signed,” Donovan said. “That stuff has to be kept confidential, be kept between Chris and the NCAA, kept between our administration and the NCAA. I'm not involved in any of those conversations.”
In 2012, Walker played for a travel-league team (the Florida Rams) that was shut down by the NCAA due to ties between its coach, Matt Ramker, and sports agent Andy Miller. Current UF freshman point guard Kasey Hill and Kansas freshman guard Brannen Greene played for the same team, and both have been cleared by the NCAA.
“I trust our administration and what they're doing,” Donovan said. “Hopefully it will be resolved in a timely fashion. I know everyone involved one way or another wants to know what's going to happen.”
On Tuesday, NCAA spokesperson Stacey Osburn declined comment when asked about the status of Walker's eligibility.
“We have nothing to share publicly at this time,” Osburn said in an email.

Florida senior forward Casey Prather was named to the Wooden Award midseason Top 25 list on Wednesday.
Prather, UF’s leading scorer at 17.3 points per game, has scored in double figures in all 15 games he’s appeared in this season.
A 6-foot-6 forward from Jackson, Tenn., Prather missed two games recently with a bone bruise but returned to score a game-high 21 points in UF’s 68-61 win Saturday at Auburn.

Jarnell Stokes and Jeronne Maymon are bruisers, but the key to beating UT is to slow down Jordan McRae. He's got an excellent 3 point shot and he can drive to the basketball or dish to open teammates.

Gators Chomp Vols:
By Chris Harry
GatorZone.com Senior Writer
AT THE BUZZER -
FLORIDA 67, TENNESSEE 41
WHAT HAPPENED: The sixth-ranked Gators turned their defense up loud enough to rival the super-sonic sounding home crowd and smashed the Southeastern Conference rival Volunteers for an 11th straight win. Sophomore guard Michael Frazier scored 17 points and senior point guard Scottie Wilbekin chimed in with 13 and in-your-face defense against one of the league's premier offensive players (see below). As evenly distributed as UF's baskets were (four players with double-figures, another with 9 points), it was the baskets visiting UT did not score -- and there were many -- that proved the difference in this game. The Vols scored just nine field goals through the game’s first 29 minutes and finished with a season-low point output in making just 26.8 percent from the floor.
WHAT IT MEANS: Florida remained the lone unbeaten team in the SEC, improving to 6-0 in league play while padding the school record for consecutive wins at the O’Connell Center to 26 straight. The Gators opened a three-game cushion on the Vols in the SEC race.
IN THE SPOTLIGHT: He may not appear on too many highlights tonight, but sophomore forward Dorian Finney-Smith was sensational off the bench, finishing with nine points, eight rebounds and bringing the Gators unbridled energy under the basket. His diving, into-the-bench save eventually netted a Frazier 3-pointer during an early second-half Florida run that blew the game open.
STAGGERING STATISTIC: Gotta go with two. Tennessee finished just 1-for-19 from the 3-point line (5.3 percent) against a UF defense that came in ranked 11th in the league -- and 222nd in the nation -- in 3-point defense at 35.2 percent. And the Vols leading scorer, 6-foot-6 guard Jordan McRae, who lit the Gators up for 27 points last season and was coming off a 34-point eruption Wednesday against Arkansas, came in averaging 19.2 points. He finished with just five points on 1-for-15 shooting. Take a bow, Mr. Wilbekin, arguably the best on-ball perimeter defender in the country.
SUBPLOT: The blowout win halted the Vols’ three-game winning streak in the series. Tennessee (12-7, 3-3) came in having won 13 of 19 in the series. For what it’s worth, the Gators go to Knoxville for a rematch Feb. 11.
UP NEXT: The Gators (17-2, 6-0) don’t play until next Thursday when they travel to face Mississippi State (13-6, 3-3).
