Billy Donovan and his Florida Gators gave their fans something else to be thankful for this Thanksgiving weekend, a win over the #2 ranked Spartans of Michigan State. It is the biggest upset of the season so far and could be signs of things to come in the SEC-East this season. The East is already stacked with NCAA tournament teams with Kentucky, Tennessee and Vandy all figuring to be in the mix. However, most of the national media thought Florida would be NIT bound for a third straight season. Yet, the Gators already have a HUGE win for their NCAA resume.The Gators could be this season's Arkansas who started last season with a bang, only to finish in the SEC with a whimper. Or they could be an underrated factor in the SEC landscape. It's too early to tell, but Billy Donovan is proving that Florida Basketball is still alive and well. The question is, does any one in the state of Florida care?
I thought Florida would be better than what most people expected. Still, I want to see how they match up with UK and UT before I say "they're back".
ReplyDeleteNo, they don't care. We play FSU today!
