    It is amazing to see where UF basketball is vs one year ago. SEC Tournament Championship and NCAA Championship. The team heading into next year is one of the best in the country. I am still waking up every day wondering how this happened

    Mike White was replaced by Todd Golden, and we won a bunch of nailbiters in the NCAA tournament.

    Based on our improvement arc from the year before, I think most of us thought that the Gators would be good enough to be a 2nd-weekend team in March. We easily surpassed that level.
    To think that we ended up as the BEST team in the SEC (yeah, deal with it, Awbie) in a year that the SEC was its best ever, the best conference in the nation, and possibly the historically best nationwide ever, is mind-blowing. We also won the strongest regional bracket, and topped it off by winning the strongest Final Four ever.
    Sure, you need a little good fortune to win it all, but we exceeded our loftiest ambitions. This was epic.
    Can't wait for next season.

    We got another 8 months of being called reigning National Champions and rubbing it in our rivals’ faces.
