Florida basketball: Gators deservedly ranked high in preseason poll

Associated Press voters expect Florida basketball to make one of the biggest jumps this season and indicated that with the men’s preseason Top 25 poll.

Without a ball being tipped in anger on the court, Florida basketball has earned the No. 6 overall ranking in the preseason poll.

Last week, Florida basketball was picked to finish second in the SEC behind Kentucky.

And, we have graduate transfer Kerry Blackshear as well as point guard Andrew Nembhard to thank for our recent poll blessings.

(Oh, and on another note, Florida is the only program in the country to have both its men’s basketball and football team ranked in the top 10 — just thought you should know that).
