I wouldn't be shocked to see them make it to the final four. To be fair I wouldn't be shocked if they got knocked out in the second round either but they have a lot going for them, good defensively, great size, great experience, good balance offensively.

They're kind of streaky from the perimeter and that could definitely hurt them but I don't see many weaknesses besides that.

They deserved the outright championship. Best team in the SEC without a doubt.

I think this board has it about right. It could go any which way. I do not think this team is anywhere near the 04's were, but if they keep getting better and play at the top of their game for a few games, I would not be shocked to see them in the Final Four. But one bad night and they could lose to anybody.

No matter what happens from here on out, that outright SEC championship banner will be hanging in the O'Dome. I would love to see us win the SEC tournament as well, and we are clearly the favorites there. I will worry about the tournament when that time comes. This has been one of the most entertaining seasons ever, and I hope it keeps going for a while.

Have you watched a lot of other conferences? The SEC has some teams that stack up very very well. The SEC is probably going to end up getting the 2nd most teams in the tourney besides the Big East.

I am not going to predict UF because I am too superstitious about these things, but this team is playing ridiculous basketball right now. We haven't really seen a cold Florida now in some time. Don't know if it is a streak or a realization of potential, starting to lean towards the later. There is a lot of talent on this team.

Right now, the Gators are staring down a 3 seed with the potential for a 2 with an SEC tourney championship, playing the first round in Tampa.
