How will Gator hoops close?

Thanks to the gutsy, exciting comeback win over the Crimson Tide on Saturday, part of the Gators’ yearend puzzle has been solved: Florida is the 2013 SEC champion.

The next game and possibly the next two games will decide whether or not they share that title with Kentucky. Saturday morning, winning the SEC outright - or even tying for it - seemed very much in doubt. Just a week before that, failing to win the title outright and easily was equally in doubt.

But thus are the fleeting perceptions and ever-shifting outlook of a college basketball team. Especially in crunch time. However, the fortunes of this Gator basketball team are not nearly as fragile as the psyche of a college basketball fan when the score or the standings start to get uncomfortably close.

And in this year of perpetually capsizing streaks and confidence of all the top teams in the nation, the Gators are in excellent shape heading into the post-season.
