Monday's opener was not the start Florida Gator fans were hoping for in their quest to defend their national title. Florida started with a 12-point lead before eventually getting worn down and falling to No. 13 Arizona 93-87.
It's not all gloom and doom as Arizona is one of the sleeper teams to make a deep run in March and Florida did have a wide open three to tie the game with less than a minute to go that just didn't fall, but there were some warning signs that Todd Golden will want fixed if the Gators are to make another deep March run themselves.
