A few hours after Florida's loss Saturday, my friends and I began the acceptance level of the five stages of grief. At that point, we mentioned that if someone had told you in December that Florida would get to the Elite Eight, you would have taken it. If someone told you the Gators would win the SEC regular season, you would have taken that too.
Some nights, you just can't beat the refs, fate or black magic. But it doesn't help when you can't rebound either.
If there is any team that might have fate or luck on their side, it should be the mid-major. But remember this is a Championship Mode game. Act accordingly.
When Chandler Parsons missed a game winning shot as time expired, it would have been understandable for people to flash back to the missed chances that allowed the Gators to lose in double overtime to BYU in the 2010 tournament. But, as we have seen over the course of this season, these Gators are not last year's Gators.
Gators beat BYU in OT, 83-74. You all saw the game or at least read about it so I'm not gonna tell you what you already know. But if your like me, you just want a thread to chat about the game or...

Boy wonder, Jimmer Fredette the scoring machine. How many points will he score against the Gators? Jimmer averages 28.8 points per game on the season, and has 66 points so far in the tournament....
The scoring prodigy's worst nightmare is on the other end.
Once again, the Florida Gators defeated the UCLA Bruins in the NCAA Tournament. This time it was 73-65, with the Gators moving on to the Sweet 16.
Will today be the day we pay our debts?
