Jim was on with the Saturday morning sports guys. He talked briefly about last night's game, and about the Florida game. The team is leaving for Gainesville, Florida early tomorrow morning by charter flight.
They decided to travel on game day because there were no hotel rooms available near Gainesville because South Carolina and Steve Spurrier are in town to play Florida in a big football game today.

No kidding. I couldn't find a hotel in Gainesville either. Luckily found one 30 min away in Ocala, Florida. Probably tough to find a hotel for the entire team though.

Did he mention anything about Warren playing? Or needing to use more "bigs" in this game?

[Chucky T's]

JL said on last nights pre-game show that Andrew Warren will not play against Florida....we'll see if he changes his mind.

That doesn't sound good, to be leaving the same day for a 2:00 game. If it's a tournament, you would think arrangements would have been made for them.

[real fan]

Their are dissadvantages of traveling and playing on the same day, but at least the players should get a good night of sleep in their own beds plus they will not have so many distractions as they arrive and go straight to the arena tomorrow.

Tournaments differ, and this one is a little on the low-budget side, typical of those run by the Gazelle Group. Bradley was on their own making arrangements, but receive money back from the organizers to cover expenses.

But Jim Les actually prefers to travel on game day as long as it's a charter. Traveling on game day with commercial flights would not be good.
But at least the kids get a good night's sleep, and they travel directly from the gainesville airport to the arena.
If they stayed in a hotel, it would probably be a hour or 2 away from the arena, and they could take almost as ling to get to the arena.
Plus coaches do not like all the distractions that go along with staying on the road.
