The last remaining Florida college basketball program was eliminated from post-season play today.
The Florida Gators were defeated by UMass 78-66 in the NIT Final Four at Madison Square Garden. The Gators blew a 9 point halftime lead and the Minutemen never looked back as they took the lead with 11:29 left in the 2nd half. A major reason for the loss was Florida's pathetic free-throw shooting: 8 for 21 from the line. It's a real shame because UF seemed to be playing at their highest level this year, having dominated wins over San Diego State, Creighton, and #1 Arizona State to reach the NIT semi-finals. Billy Donovan cannot be pleased with this performance.
The Majority of the posts will now be concentrated on the baseball season, primarily the Florida Marlins and a little on the Tampa Bay Rays. We'll also keep you in touch with the collegiate teams (Canes, Gators, Noles).

Don't forget college baseball! The Gators are tops in the best baseball conference in the country right now, FSU is #2 nationally. Should be a fun summer.
