alligatorSports Video Show, Episode 10
Mar. 28, 2011We celebrate the 10th episode of our weekly video show in style, as Greg Luca reports back from New Orleans with coverage and footage of the Florida basketball team following the Gators' 74-71 overtime loss to Butler in the Elite Eight. UF fell just one game short of a return trip to the Final Four and will lose a talented senior class, which leads Greg to briefly look forward to next year's squad. We also congratulate Greg on an exhaustingly full season of coverage, getting clips from what the Florida basketball players are (not) saying about his work.
