Home will be a welcome sight for Sha Brooks and Marshae Dotson.
They better enjoy it while they can.
The duo, along with fellow seniors Aneika Henry and Kim Critton, will be playing its final two home games this weekend, beginning tonight at 7 against Arkansas (15-11, 4-7 Southeastern Conference).
They will wrap up their home careers on Sunday at 1 p.m. when No. 15 UF (22-4, 8-3 SEC) hosts South Carolina (10-14, 2-9 SEC).
"Probably very emotional," Brooks said of what being recognized will be like. "I'm going to try not to cry."
Dotson didn't quite feel the same way.
"(It's) just another game, a recognition of players that are about to leave," Dotson said.
Whatever the moment will mean to them individually, the seniors will all look to cap off their final years with an unblemished home record of 15-0.
If they do so, they will become just the third team in UF history to accomplish that feat.
Aside from the 1997-98 Gators squad, only UF coach Amanda Butler's 1993-94 team went undefeated at home. It was also Butler's senior year as a player.
"It's a huge feather in your cap," Butler said. "I got to experience that as a player. I can't remember what happened at all in my playing career, but I can tell you us going undefeated at home was a huge deal, was a huge sense of pride for that team that I was fortunate to be a part of.
"I know that they will feel the same way. As seniors on this ball club, it's part of their legacy in establishing this as one of the toughest places in the country to play."
For Brooks and Dotson, it would be something else to add to their incredible resumes.
In the their four years at UF, they have thrown numbers to the side.
Brooks and Dotson have played in all 120 games of their careers.
Brooks has started 119 games, including a record 117 in a row. Dotson has scored in all but one game in her career and has grabbed at least one rebound in every game she has played.
Brooks is averaging more than 19 points in SEC games and leads her team in nearly every offensive category, while Dotson is posting more than 14 points in league games and has the No. 1 field goal percentage in the conference.
Dotson grabbed her 800th career rebound against Tennessee, and she and Brooks have eclipsed the 1,000-point mark.
Brooks is one of only two UF players to score 1,500 points, record 275 assists and collect 200 steals in her career.
The list goes on, but probably the most important stat for these two seniors over their four years is coming from a 9-22 team two years ago to 22-4 now.
"For their careers to culminate in a season like this that still has the potential to be the best season ever in the history of the program, I think it speaks a lot about them and their toughness and their resiliency," Butler said.
