Walter Hodge's haircuts have gone through almost as many ups and downs as the UF basketball team this season.
MIAMI - It has become the Gators' signature play.
MIAMI - It's funny to think that a player who committed two turnovers served as a stabilizing influence on the winning team.
MIAMI - Titletown is alive and well again.
MIAMI - This was the ugliest game you've ever seen for the first 40 minutes. This game was a train wreck. A slow-paced, whistle-filled, commercial-clogged mess of a game.
The Florida frontcourt has been questioned all season.
