GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- The Florida Gators are favorites to win the SEC men's basketball title for the first time since winning the national title in 2007. A panel of SEC and national media members picked the Gators to unseat Kentucky in balloting earlier this week.
That's reality.
UF coach Billy Donovan, however, has a different view. He wants to make sure perception and reality are not skewed. Sure, Donovan sees a team that went to the NCAA tournament last season and returns all five starters. He understands the fuss and why many believe the Gators should be really, really good. But Donovan also points out that UF needed a late run and three-game winning shots last season to help it advance into the Big Dance, where it tumbled in the opening round to BYU.
