It's amazing what Billy Donovan did with this team last year. Hill not quite ready and Walker sitting out virtually the entire year. This team is an elite eight lock at minimum next year.
I don't think you can predict tournament success bro.

Can't wait to see what Florida looks like next year on the hardwood. Going to be a completely different style, I think. Not necessarily as effective as the defensive-oriented team as last year, but more "exciting" with more of a run-and-gun approach. I think Kasey Hill is going to challenge Nick Calathes' single-season assists record.
I agree. I think people forget how well hill was playing before Scottie came back. I think this could be one of billys best teams he's had on the offensive end of the floor.

You can't. I predict we will be a top 5 team, and with Billy D at the helm we should be an elite eight team, but like you said tournament success is hard to predict.

I think we should be preseason top 3. This isn't going to have a hard time scoring. This is possibly a more talented team

The average trip to the tournament for Florida under Billy D is an Elite Eight appearance.

It is hard to expect an elite eight every year. I would say anything less would feel like a disappointment.

I don't think it's fair to say that. We could have a great season and still fall short in the tournament

If Billy D. doesn't meet expectations, should he be fired?

They need to make sure they have some fresh rims in the O-Dome this year, might be a lot of dunking going on.

And I just thought of this, but they should install an "Oop Counter" somewhere in the building. Every time Walker catches a lob from Hill, tally one up. Kinda like the splash down counter at the Giants' ballpark.

It amazes me that people on the interwebs think that photo is real and not photoshopped. Just look at the fence behind him.

I didn't post this because I thought the pic was real. I posted it just as a discussion starter for the BBall fans. It's slow now and anything fun to talk about is a good topic. Besides, you can look at the video below that pic and tell he isn't cut like that yet. Did you see the instagram comments? Quite a few people were fooled.

we need a promotion from one of the sponsors to giveout free stuff when we get a certain amount of ally-oops in a game.

Billy D could lose every game for the next 2 years and I would not even question him.
