Cinderella Team??? I think not!

The Florida Gators were on everyones radar at the begining of the 2005-2006 NCAA mens basketball season after an exceptional 17-0 start. All games were out of confrence but there was no lack in competion as the gators went on to beat syracuse among others at the coaches for cancer tourney held earlier this year. But once SEC play started they suffered thier first defeat at the hands of the hated Tenneesee Volunteers. They finished up the SEC play with a 10-6 record losing to Tennessee and South Carolina twice, and one apeice to Arkansas and Alabama. All the major analyst wrote off the young gators, stating that they were not experienced and mature enought to close out the season. Well looks like the gators were listening and have responded beautifully by winning the SEC title for the second straight year and destroying the first two teams they faced in march madness by a combined score of 158-110. The young gators called a team meeting after thier last defeat and seemed to have pulled it all together.
Up next are the Georgetown Hoyas who are favored to win this friday night. I have a feeling that they are gona be in for a rude awakeing. But dont take my word for it, see it for your self this Friday March 24 at 9:40pm Eastern.
