    Teams playing the Gators can become Princeton or Richmond for 40 minutes and never, ever commit turnovers. We think we get where Todd Golden and his notably tall rotation are going with this eventually, and, no doubt, it's a nifty place. Jim Calhoun-era UConn got there, and it was amazing. Those Huskies were too big and intimidating and cool to care about takeaways. Florida will get there, too, though perhaps not in the next three weeks.

    If I could target one team on that list, I would like to see UF whip, it would be UCONN.

    Yep and I also don’t want UConn to repeat. Don’t want anybody to do what the Gatorboyz did.
