Mike White has the Florida Gators looking like a postseason-caliber team early in his second season as head coach. Florida is off to a 6-1 start to the 2016-17 college basketball season and recently earned a third-place finish at the AdvoCare Invitational.
The Gators are beginning to receive the respect they deserve for the quality team they’ve become.
Florida is coming off of strong victories over three teams that made the 2016 NCAA Tournament: Florida Gulf Coast, Seton Hall, and Miami. It also defeated 2016 NIT participants Belmont and St. Bonaventure, and 2016 CIT participant Mercer.
The Gators announced the Top 25 ranking via the official men’s basketball Twitter account.
