I agree heartbreak and people need to do some research on the Florida basketball program then come back and criticize Billy. And remember he built a powerhouse program the right way too. No cheating. Who else has done this recently at non basketball powerhouses? Probably 4, Billy, Coach K, Izzo and Lute Olsen.
I am not counting Calhoun or Boeheim because of all the controvery their programs are under.

So to all the Billy critics, you are right, it is all his fault we are so good. Ho Hum another top 10 finish for a Gator athletic program.

Do those elite 8 losses hurt? Damn right, they do.

That said, Billy is still one of the best in the business (and one of the classiest, I might add) and it's really incredible how he puts out the success he's had at UF basketball (not really a powerhouse by any means prior to his arrival).

Yesterday was frustrating and disappointing (and I rarely criticize BD unless warranted, Erving Walker on the other hand ...), but considering UF had deficiencies with a lack of big men all year, a FF appearance would've been great, but mostly icing on the cake. Figured a sweet 16/E8 or so for this team, and they got there.
