They outhustled, and outmuscled the Orange. Their physicalness reminds me of Uconn.

I think a light finally clicked with Florida last year, they were getting embarrassed by UK year after year and were accused for being soft. I think there players finally took that to heart and started actually playing defense. Donovan has been able to find some great players but he could never get them to play defense until the second half of the season last year. Now he finally has some physical bodies to play some tough defense. Florida usually starts the seasons off ranked high but this year they have kinda flown under the radar with a talented squad. I think you will see the same from Cincy, they are always physical and never lack the explosive athelete. Florida will make a run at the SEC titile and right now they are looking like the best team out of the SEC. UK will be toast if they can't get Morris back because there inside game is horrible at best. I was pulling for the cuse because I hate the SEC but you guys do have a young squad and I'm sure coach will turn it around.

Coach Donovan has had plenty of talented teams down south in Florida and has underachieved with alot of them. His teams have alot of early exits from the NCAA's besides the 2000 runner-up finish. Florida won their first ever SEC Tourney title last season. I'd choose Alabama or Kentucky to win the SEC this season. Vanderbilt has all five starters back and should be considered a darkhorse for the title. I just think Florida is going to have another great early run and falter down the stretch again.
