This team really exposed Syracuse early in the year but damn was their Conference Championship against South Carolina difficult to watch. Talk about not putting a team away. Other than the 2001 season, Florida has a history of underachievement in the NCAA Tournament and this team is too young to expect a very deep run this year.
