they have 4 guys who can legitimately score from the perimeter - Erik Murphy, Kenny Boynton, Mike Rosario, and Scottie Wilbekin

Patric Young is a man beast in the paint, Casey Prather is a solid reserve off the bench. And Will Yeguette could return later, provides solid length and athleticism.

Right now I think Kansas is the biggest threat. McLemore is a superstar, plus Withey and Kevin Young are solid in the frontcourt.

They certainly are showing signs. Donovan's teams always do well in the tournament, no matter how much talent they have, and I think they have the firepower for a final 4 this year.

I don't even think they are the best team in Florida right now.

Billy seems to make a run at a title every 5-6 years. He recruits guys that are 3-4 year players and eventually builds a talented upperclassman-heavy team, like this year.

I thought Billy had legitimately decent chances to win a title the last two years (the year before more so than last) until Erv Walker and Kenny Boynton shot him out of back-to-back Final Four appearances.

Hopefully Boynton has finally learned to stop taking dumbass shots when up 11 deep into the 2nd half.

Stop right there. I still can't believe this guy is still in college.

out of the huge cluster frick with the top teams in the country, so far I think Florida is going to make a good run.

I don't actually think Florida is that good and think they'll be gone pretty early, Sweet 16ish.

I've been calling this for a month. Just get that feeling with this bunch. Regardless, they are a definite Final Four squad.

ive been high on florida all year and i love them right now but i have to comment on how hilarious it is that someone high on kansas mentions kevin young. the dude does exactly what he is supposed to but it's just funny he gets a mention at all.

when kansas is on, they are as dangerous as anyone. we haven't got to see much of that lately (outside of last night) and im gonna need more convincing after such a poor stretch. florida has looked awesome all year against the sec but the league is absolute and utter shite. their loss to k state is perplexing as is the arkansas game. i dunno what to make of them as they continue to rape every inferior team but play weirdly sometimes.

I'll be disappointed if we don't make the Final Four.

This years tournament has a boatload of teams that could make it all the way. I think this will end up being one of the best tournaments in recent memory. My bracket is going to be utterly awful, but it usually is.

I really like this team. They're playing with a lot of passion, something I haven't seen the past 2 years. Erving Walker never showed emotion or passion and I think that rubbed off on the rest of the team.

This year's team is really selfless, plays oustanding defense, and shoots lights out from the perimiter. I'll be disappointed if we don't win it all this year.

Those are two of my favorites to win it all this year. Both teams are really solid.
