There was a small eruption inside the Lemerand Athletic Center on Monday afternoon, as Florida’s soccer team learned its fate for the NCAA Tournament.
One week after the firing of their coach and a demoralizing defeat against No. 1 Georgia, Florida fans waited to see how the Gators would respond. On Saturday against Missouri, UF’s response was so heinous that interim coach Randy Shannon condemned it like a school-wide scandal.
After Missouri’s 45-16 beatdown of the Gators, there’s a lot of blame to go around on both sides of the ball.
Shainah Joseph launched herself upward from the right side of the court. The redshirt senior hung in mid-air, wound up and spiked the ball straight into the middle of Tennessee’s defense. No one on the home team could return it.
When No. 1 seed Anna Danilina was upset by an unranked opponent in her first match of the ITA National Fall Championships, she didn’t give up and go home.
Tampa guard Pat Bacon drove to the basket midway through the first half only to have his shot swatted away by a towering Kevarrius Hayes into the hands of Keith Stone.
It’s been eight years since the Florida women’s swimming and diving team faced off against FGCU. On Saturday, sophomore Sherridon Dressel and junior Hannah Burns gave it a performance to mull over until the two teams meet again.
Well folks, that didn’t work.

After a memorable 1,061-day stretch serving as Florida’s football coach, Jim McElwain’s reign in Gainesville came crumbling down on Sunday afternoon.

One year after making it to the Elite Eight, Gators coach Mike White isn’t convinced his new team deserves a No. 8 ranking in the AP preseason poll.
Malik Davis watched Georgia complete its beatdown of his team while propped up on crutches and wearing a large, black brace. He stood as an emblem of Florida’s season so far.
The other day, someone I know and respect made a solid argument that the No. 8 Gators’ men’s basketball team wouldn’t live up to expectations in 2017-18. This particular critic of Florida basketball said the Gators have lost too many quality players and haven’t added enough replacements to reach the Elite Eight for the second year in a row.
