Gators get 20th win for 14th straight year: The win last night over Alabama was the Gators' 20th win on the season. There are only four teams in the country who have won a longer streak of winning at least twenty games. (Tribune Wire Reports, Orlando Sentinel)
The 2-3 zone made the difference: The Gators switched to a 2-3 zone in the 2nd half and went on their 16-0 run that put the game away. Now if only they could play the zone like Syracuse. ($) (Franz Beard, GatorBait)
Nick Saban's empire to come to an end: Yeah, I just don't see how Saban is going to let things slowly crack at the seams until it crumbles. I think it's going to be more of a quick and somewhat drastic slide. (Spencer Hall, SB Nation)
Saban's empire will be around for awhile: Basically, in order to stop Saban you're going to have to beat Saban. Much in the same way Urban Meyer met his end in the SEC. I agree. (Year 2, Team Speed Kills)
Preston Tucker sets the tone: Tucker is one of the many Gators who turned down professional contracts for the chance to win a National Championship. He's also got to be one of the favorites to win the Golden Spikes award. (Matt Watts, Miami Herald)
McKethan Stadium gets upgrades: The scoreboard is now fully digital. We've made it y'all. (Jason Lieser, Gator Bytes/The Palm Beach Post)
Derek Dooley and oversigning: I don't know about you, but it didn't shock me at all when I read this. The coach with the most depth issues in the conference is a fan of oversigning. Wow! (John Pennington, Mr SEC)
Movers' regret for Missouri and Texas A&M: The folks out in Oklahoma think so. Apparently, the schools entering the Big 12 will have no regrets while those leaving will have regrets. Because that's how it always works, right? Someone has that grudge feeling of being left out. (Berry Tramel, The Oklahoman)

didn't realize it had gotten to that number
Billy Donovan is the man in the SEC
until Calipari gets an NCAA tourney title this will be the case
that zone killed us last night and when you finally found your form from the three ugghhh
see you in the SEC tourney Gators
People who live in glass houses should not hang out with Charles Barkley.

big ups for Billy D
I question many of his calls (pretty much every time we are playing for the last shot), but there is no denying the fact that he has won 20 games for 14 straight seasons at a football school. My freshman year, the Gators went 7-21 in hoops and I think they had a grand total of 1 NCAA tournament appearance.
We’ve come a long way and owe almost all of it to Billy D. No matter what Coach Cal does, he’ll never win two nattys at a football school.
I am excited for the day that we rename our court or arena after Coach Donovan.
In all kinds of weather...
Yep. Much like in football, one coach started it and another finished it. In this case, Lon Kruger laid the foundation.
