Yes, it’s early. But coach Billy Donovan’s Gators are back in theconversation as a possible NCAA tournament team.
Florida won consecutive national titles in 2006 and ’07 before settling fortwo straight appearances in the NIT the past two seasons.
There was no clipping of the nets as if they have before in April. TheGators were simply presented with a trophy at midcourt.
