Too Little Too Late?

The Florida Gators won their first basketball game in what seems like forever (really they’re 3-5 in their last 8 games). The Gators beat the Kentucky Wildcats 60-53 in the final regular season game of the 2008-2009 season. But was the win too little too late? Are the Gators still alive in their question for an NCAA Tournament bid? Only time will tell.
On senior night, the Gators only senior Walter Hodge came up big. Hodge hit seven of 12 shots, including three of five from outside the arc, to lead …

Gators Could Clinch NCAA Birth Tonight

The Florida Gators have a chance to seal their NCAA Tourney fate tonight against the Louisiana State Tigers in Baton Rouge. If the Gators can pull out a win over the No. 18 ranked Tigers, I think it will be enough to lock them into a spot in the big dance. The Gators are currentl 21-6 overall, and 8-4 in the SEC. Some experts think the Gators need 10 wins in the SEC… but I think a win tonight would do it.

The Gator basketball team is fresh off a a big win against Alabama yesterday. Granted Alabama sucks, but the Gators really needed this win, and it vaulted them back into a tie for first place in the SEC East. With only 5 games left on the schedule, the Gators need to win at least 3 of them to advanace to the NCAA Tourney.

Gators Lose to Georgia… WTF

What is going on with the Florida Gators men’s basketball team. I can understand losing a close one to Kentucky last week, but losing to the Georgia Bulldogs (10-15 overall, 1-9 SEC) is just not acceptable. The Bulldogs are absolutely the worst basketball team in the SEC and have no business even being on the same court as the Gators.
The Gators have now lost 3 of their last 4 games and worsened their record to 19-6 overall (6-4 SEC). What is going on with this team?
Calathes scored 16 points, grabbed …

Gator Basketball at Kentucky

The Florida Gator men’s basketball team (19-4) is traveling to Lexington, Kentucky for a game tonight with the Kentucky Wildcats (16-7). The Gators may have a better overall and SEC record then the Wildcats, but don’t let that fool you. Kentucky is a strong team that can put up points, especially on their home court.

“Both teams have had a week off and I’m sure this time of year, from our perspective of trying to get back physically, just to heal some bumps and bruises…the last 15 days have been a very emotional 15 days getting to the half way point of our league and we got a chance to take a couple of days off.
