As it sits on January 17th, Florida’s season hasn’t exactly gone according to plan.
In non-conference play the Gators were able to avoid any landmines but they weren’t able to land any good wins with their biggest victory coming arguably against Michigan–a team with multiple mid-major losses who currently sits at 7-10 and well outside the NCAA Tournament picture. While the non-conference didn’t do the Gators any favors it certainly didn’t shoot themselves in the foot, and SEC play was an opportunity to finally put together some quality wins.
So far, that hasn’t been the case. Florida is 1-3 with two blowout losses and their single victory came against an Arkansas team in the midst of a tailspin, currently ranking 110th in the NET.
