The SEC Men’s Basketball Tournament tips off today in Nashville, Tennessee. #4 seed Florida will play #5 seed Auburn at 7:30 p.m. EST in the third game of the day, and will be televised on the SEC Network. Florida went 6-0 against the SEC West this season, including a 78-70 win over Auburn earlier this year in Gainesville. The Gators are currently 20-11, 9-7 SEC and on the bubble for the NCAA Tournament – there’s no doubt… they must win tonight vs. Auburn.

The Florida Gators finished out the 2009-2010 men’s basketball regular season on Sunday afternoon with a 66-74 loss to the No. 3 Kentucky Wildcats. No one was giving the Gators a chance to win that game in Lexington, but it still sucks to see our team close off the season with three straight losses. That is definitely not going to sit well in the minds of the NCAA Tourney voters. The Gators will now travel to Nashville on March 11 for the SEC Tournament. They’ll have to win a game or two here to ensure a trip to the NCAA Tournament.

Anybody else freezing their toes off in North Florida? Yeah, It really shouldn’t be this cold in March.

Tebow did fairly well at the combine, despite not throwing because of his throwing motion and mechanics being under reconstruction…

Hard to believe the Winter Olympics are already over; aside from the pre-opening ceremonies tragedy involving the luger from Georgia (Nodar Kumaritashvili) being killed on a training run, Vancouver deserves to be highly commended on a job well done. Based on the fact that the United States and Canada brought in the lion’s share of the total medals as well as staged impressive championship hockey games, albeit with Team USA settling for silver medals in both the men’s and women’s finals, …

Just when you think the Gators are on the right track, we go and do something stupid like losing to a Georgia team with only 12 wins. The Bulldogs defeated the Gators by a final score of 76-78 at Stegeman Coliseum in Athens. The Gators are now 20-9 overall and 9-5 in the SEC. Their next game is against Vanderbilt in Gainesville – a tough game, and possibly most win for the Gators.
