When John Egbunu went down, it felt pretty much like any chance Florida had of making a run in the Tournament went with him. The Gators lost three of four to close the regular season and even the most optimistic of Florida fans wasn't expecting an Elite Eight appearance.

Yes it is disappointing to lose this one - especially when a very beatable South Carolina team became the draw, but it was still an overall positive season for the basketball squad, and they more than just lived up to expectations, they exceeded them.

Looking at some of the early talk for next year, the team is expected to be even better.
