Three months ago, even three weeks ago, the Florida Gators were far from the team that’s now won five straight games.
Three weeks ago, the Gators were 13-11 and two games below .500 in SEC play.
Florida looked to be playing its way right into the NIT. It had several chances to get that big resume building win at that point, but just couldn’t capitalize.
Fans were frustrated. Mike White was frustrated. The players were frustrated. And maybe that’s exactly what this team full of self-proclaimed nice guys needed.
It’s been a team effort for Florida to bounce back and put itself in the favorable position it is now, but White thinks one guy made the biggest difference.
