The Florida gymnastics team is ranked No. 3 in the nation, and last Friday night, it showed why.
Florida basketball coach Mike White had a rough week.
A hesitation move and a dash to her right allowed her to blow by the defender. She reached the rim and leaped as three Missouri Tigers jumped along with her to try and swat the ball away. She double-clutched and banked the shot off the glass and in with 2.2 seconds left to give Florida its first lead since 8:14 in the first quarter.
Mike White will be the first person to tell you if he believes his team isn’t playing good defense.
The Florida men’s basketball team has looked like two vastly different teams for most of the season.
Noah Locke dribbled up to the three-point line.
The moment rapper T.I’s 2004 hit “Bring Em Out” began to pump through the loudspeakers at the O’Connell Center, the crowd of almost 8,500 people bounced up and down with primal yells.

Sunday’s 64-56 loss at the hands of Auburn raises an interesting question about the Florida Gators women’s basketball team: Who can the team turn to when its two leading scorers, Funda Nakkasoglu and Delicia Washington, aren’t at the top of their games?
