I think UF has what it takes to go Back 2 Back (again).

Obviously it all depends on seeding and matchups but they’re playing like the best team in the country right now. Credit when credit is due. Great fricking team.

Guard play is so important in the dance. It’s hard to replace the 3 NBA guards off last season.i don’t exactly trust these guards against more aggressive teams. Also can they hit 3s. That’s a weakness that shows up in crunch time.

Gators are great, SEC is garbage. Florida and Duke look the best.

What about Michigan & UCONN?


We hate UCONN so I hope we face them and send them home broke....again

They are dominant on the glass and play suffocating defense. Even on an average shooting night, they are going to be an incredibly difficult task for anyone. I honestly think they could be better than last years squad.

This. Unless FL’s guards play above their head for 4 games in a row, they’re probably going to run into an AZ, Mich, Duke, UConn, Houston, or Purdue that can hold their own down low while out playing their guards.

Can they? Sure. Will they? Not likely.

Just so hard to do. When they did it last time they had a better coach and even more talented team than they do now.

We played AZ and UConn pretty evenly when our guard play was trash.

Guard play has improved light years the past 2 months.

Brown's emergence has been huge. At least 2 of our 4 guards are pretty much always giving us solid production every night now.

Todd Golden might have something to say about Billy D being a better coach when it’s all said and done.

No, they don't have the guard play and that's what wins in March.

Yeah… their guards suck so bad they only scored 111 on you guys. Could you imagine if they sucked a little less?

March isn't played at home. Meaningless. They lost all their big neutral court games.

That I wont argue with. At this rate, hope we have the guy for 5 more years.

Hopefully being well paid and no state income tax is enough reason to stick around for a long time.

That team in December is nowhere near the same. They’ve figured shite out and I know it’s hard for you m fer’s to grasp. It’s ok.

Or the SEC is just bad this year. Those teams are also much much better and have played much better competition for 2 months.

Incredibly hard to do. But I wouldn't have expected a 2 or borderline 1 seed in December.

I guess you can define “bad” when a league still gets 8+ teams. I think there’s a lot of talent in this league. I think we’ll do well in March as a whole.
