Joakim Noah posts 30 points, 23 rebounds, six assists: That's been done five other times in NBA history since 1985, and by a murderers' row of greats: Joe Barry Carroll, Charles Barkley, Charles Oakley, Kevin Garnett, and Dirk Nowitzki. And of those guys, only Carroll had two blocks and two assists in those games — and he needed four overtimes to get his numbers.

Florida bounced from NCAA Volleyball Tournament: For a team with three seniors, getting to the Sweet Sixteen was an accomplishment. But being up 24-22 in the first set and getting swept still has to sting. (Scott Carter, GatorZone)
Mary Wise is the best, though:
It's not losing that's so tough, it's ending one of the most special seasons I've ever been part of that's the hardest.

Willie Taggart to USF, SB Nation breaks: a) Kudos to Godfrey, who's been a rock star for us, for being the first to this story. b) Taggart, a former Stanford assistant and Jim Harbaugh disciple, is now in close proximity to another one — Florida linebackers/special teams coach D.J. Durkin. And he might need a defensive coordinator. I think Durkin stays (Durkin's the rare coach who could leap from position coach to head coach), but this is one to watch.

Women's basketball hands Pacific first loss: I haven't written more than like 15 words on here about Florida's women's basketball team this fall, so this is my mini-post for that. (GatorZone)
