Great win today. Wasn't sure if they had it in them but they came up clutch in the end.
See thread title - you fail!Can't beat ranked teams. Struggles against unranked teams. But COY?

Coach WHite is making a run at COY. The kids are a scrappy bunch. I like him. I am really impressed with the job he has done. Gotta say, while early...it looks like Foley make a good choice.
Here is the deal for White. His team had great regular seasons but failed to win the conference tourney to get into the tourney 3 straight years at LaTech. His team was well on the way to an NCAA tourney at large bid last year at UF, but inexplicitly lost to UAL AT HOME and then Vandy for a second time AT HOME last year to let that at large bid slip away.
COY does not matter for him this year. What matters is that he coach a team over the finish line into the tourney. Now the SEC finish line is different from from the WAC finish line, but he needs to get over that line and get his team into the NCAA tourney. He is off to a fine start this year, but he was also off to a fine start last year. He has to finish the deal. Nothing else matters.
I'll tell you the difference...last year they probably lose this game. I think they make the NCAA's this year.

There's 2 reasons...No surprise there aren't too many responses to this thread. Why? Cause we WON today and its not March yet so most fair weather Gator Basketball fans don't care until then. We also haven't played UK yet so they won't say much or congratulate this team on a WIN until we play UK. Now if we had lost this game then OH LORD, the negative nellies would be lambasting this team and saying we need to fire the coach and we won't make it into the NCAA team and we will have a losing record and tear down the Exact Dome and on and on and on. We WON and you LOST!! Deal with it!! Go Gators!!
I gotta say I like the Boss and his positivity...........MikeW is just beginning his UF career and followed a damned HOFer. Whoever thought UF would get a HOF basketball coach? Mike has big shoes to fill. I think the fella is doing a damned good job. I wonder if talks to Billy sometimes. I hope so.I gotta agree with boss. I got nothing to say here unless we lose.
