An advantage up front? Campus Insiders calls Florida's front line the best in college basketball. I don't totally agree, but that front line is going to be massive in Dallas.

Florida bracing for Final Four media crush: I don't think these guys are liable to say or do anything particularly stupid. (Chris Harry, GatorZone)

I have no real issue with Florida signee David Sharpe tweeting that he wanted to be a Seminole on April Fools' Day, and I recognize the utility of April Fools' Day.
