      <description><![CDATA[As well as they might know each other on and off the court, the Florida Gators got reacquainted with the Florida Gators Monday night at the Stephen C. O’Connell Center. It was Florida’s first exhibition game and a chance for the Gators to learn all about playing with each other once again after spending months going against each other daily in practice or in pickup games. ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Billy Donovan gets a chance to measure two weeks of practice progress tonight when the Florida Gators play host to Saint Leo University (7 p.m., Stephen C. O’Connell Center) in the first of two exhibition games they’ll play before the season officially kicks off November 15 with a home game against Stetson. Although St. Leo is a Division II team and outmatched in terms of size, athleticism and experience, the game will be a good measuring device for Donovan, who gets to work with his entire team and get them accustomed to playing as a unit.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Concerns about backcourt depth were eased a bit for Billy Donovan Monday evening when he got a call from the NCAA letting him know that Rod Tishman, the freshman point guard from Israel, has passed all his obstacles with the clearinghouse. Tishman has been practicing with the Gators but now he has been fully cleared to play, giving the Gators a backup for Erving Walker at the point.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[BIRMINGHAM, AL --- The last time Billy Donovan and the Florida Gators began a season predicted to finish fifth in the East Division by the Southeastern Conference basketball media was 2005 when common sense said a bunch of untested sophomores couldn’t possibly replace All-SEC types like David Lee, Anthony Roberson and Matt Walsh. ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[BIRMINGHAM, AL --- If he were younger and in the same position he is in today, head basketball coach at the University of Kentucky, John Calipari isn’t so sure he could handle the pressure. At Kentucky, winning isn’t good enough nor is going to the NCAA Tournament. “It’s Kentucky,” Calipari says, and he really doesn’t have to say more. Because it is Kentucky Calipari understands that the only measure of success is NCAA championships so it is a pressure cooker existence that requires an extraordinary feeling of self worth, something he didn’t have back in 1999 when the New Jersey Nets canned him after three years. ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[If the first three days of practice are a fair indicator of things to come, then Billy Donovan’s stress level will be significantly lower this year. As the Florida Gators start their preparations for the 2009-10 season, it’s evident in Donovan’s tone that there is a far lower level of frustration and it starts with physical conditioning, a sore subject the last two seasons.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The numbers that keep Billy Donovan awake at night are three, 12 and 50, as in 3-12 against teams with a top 50 RPI rating in the last two years. The Gators had more wins than a lot of teams that made the NCAA Tournament both years but it is that 3-12 record against the better teams on the schedule that relegated Florida to two straight trips to the National Invitational Tournament. ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[With the addition of Casey Prather to Florida’s 2010 basketball recruiting class, Billy Donovan is one step closer to the rebuilt program he has been working toward since 2007. He came back to Florida after a one-week flirtation with the NBA to take on the challenge of rebuilding the program from what he called “ground zero,” and while it isn’t all the way back, the pieces are coming together and the wait won’t be long. ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[OCALA --- After two consecutive years of dealing with a short bench due to players leaving early for the NBA and a transfer or two, Billy Donovan was looking forward to a 2009 season with close to a full complement of scholarship players. As he waits for his players to return to campus to begin school on Monday, Donovan might be right back where he started from due to a couple of pending issues.]]></description>
