As has become common over the last several years for the Gators, the 2021-22 season has been marred by extremely high highs and extremely low lows.
They started the season 6-0, a stretch that included quality wins over Florida State and an Ohio State team that is currently ranked 16th in the Associated Press poll. They shot up to No. 14 in the AP poll themselves after their torrid start to the season.
Then they lost three out of four games, including embarrassing losses to Texas Southern and Maryland. The bad momentum carried into the new year, as they lost their first three SEC games, all against teams that were ranked at the time.
