Rough day.
It was my turn today to get the stomach bug going through the house, and to add insult to injury, I still managed to watch the Gators get blown out by Kentucky in the championship game of the SEC tournament. No great surprise, but still no fun to watch. To make matters worse, I had to hear Verne Lundquist continually refer to freshman forward Chris Richard as "Cliff Richard".
Nevertheless, the Gators still managed to nab a 5 seed, about as well as could be hoped. They'll play Manhattan and already Manhattan appears to be a trendy upset pick. We'll see...I remember a lot of folks picking them to lose in the opening round in 2000, and they made it to the championship game. (Yes, it took a buzzer-beating bucket from Mike Miller to beat Butler in the opener, but they still won). Nevertheless, this team is not the 2000 squad, and if the shots aren't falling for Roberson and/or Walsh, they'll be home before the weekend.
