Alligator Army, a Florida Gators community

Florida had four chances to win one game and clinch an NCAA bid, but were 0-4 in those games, finishing with tonight's 75-69 loss to Mississippi State in the SEC Quarterfinals.

Fighting off a stout Auburn offense, the Gators moved into the SEC Quarterfinals with a 78-69 win over the Tigers.

The Gators finished the regular season on a three-game losing streak with their 74-66 loss to Kentucky. The Gators are 20-11, but more importantly 9-7 in the SEC, when 10-6 would have nearly guaranteed an NCAA bid.

With a chance to erase the epic fails of the last two seasons, the Gators score one point in the final four minutes and lose 64-60 to Vanderbilt.

The long journey of senior Dan Werner came to an end Saturday evening in Athens, Georgia when his attempted shot/pass was swatted out of bounds and Florida lost to Georgia 78-76.

With SEC Commissioner Mike Slive and a member of the NCAA selection committee in the building, the Gators did something they have not done in the previous two seasons; win a meaningful late season game.

Florida blew a seven point lead with four minutes left, but made their free throws to defeat Ole Miss 64-61. The Gators are now 19-8, 8-4 in the SEC and 5-3 in road games.

With a performance straight out of his sophomore season, Dan Werner scored nine (NINE!) points on 3-5 shooting to lead the Gators to a 78-70 win over Auburn. The win snapped Florida's two game losing streak.

I am not suggesting Billy Donovan should be fired or that I don't appreciate what he has done for UF. But these are his guys.

The only people impressed with the Gators Wednesday night was the NIT committee, as the Gators lost to South Carolina 77-71.
