The past decade for Florida Gator football has been abysmal. Key image that keeps coming to mind is the last coach, Jim McElwain (Coach Mac, Butters, Shark Humper) and how we came in second for nearly every top recruit - to make us think we were competing but not quite there. That's the feeling I have with this basketball team - keep coming in second in most of our games. At times, we can tie it up and be close; or only lose by a small single digit margin. Making you think we were competing but not quite there. And yet, at the end of the day, YOU are the LOSER yet again.
I don't know if we'll make the NCAA tournament. If we do, it'll be a bad seed with a one and done. I kinda want NIT, so the younger players get more practice time, because the future is ... not now. Our seniors are all performing lower than they did the last year or two. Our two big men are out for the season with knee injuries and we have a 4 playing center at this point. We are outsized at every position. We're starting 3 freshman, and have done so the last few games. The only bright thought being our freshman are green, but they are good with great potential. And they'll be joined by three really good incoming freshman, two of whom are McDonald's All Americans already. The future is...not now.
Sorry I can't comment on other teams. If I can't watch my own, I won't bother to watch anyone else remind me how bad we are this year. Good luck to ya'll and your teams.
