I remember. But also remember how typical Donovan/Florida seasons go. Last year was great, and I think this year can be the same, don't get me wrong.

How many times have Florida teams looked unstoppable early and in the middle of the season only to stumble into a second round upset? Ask Temple or Manhatten, they probably remember.

They look worse at this point than they did last year. They are lacking the intangible "togetherness and toughness" right now.

I'm not saying that's going to happen. This team's better than those of the past, but it's a possility if they don't pull it together. Fast.

By the way, Krono, not sure if you've heard about this, we're having a minor problem with a "off the record" Donovan/Vitale conversation that has been released to the public via radio waves.

Ok well I was probably wrong about Wisconsin and Florida, but I don't think UNC is one of the top three teams in the country either. Memphis and Texas are looking very strong. And I believe in Acie Law IV, that shot he hit over Durant at the end of regulation last night was unbelievable.

I can describe this college basketball season in one sentence.

Virginia will likely win the ACC regular season title outright.

Congratulations to my Toledo Rockets for clinching a share of their first MAC title in 26 years. A win over sub .500 Central Michigan or a Kent St. loss gives them the #1 seed and at worst an automatic spot in the NIT.

Big game in the Ivy tonight. A Penn win over Yale locks up the league title and makes Penn the first team in this year's field of 65. They're still in control with a loss, but it would leave more work to do.

We've got our first shot at a crazy team worming its way into the NCAAs, as VMI, #6 seed in the Big South, has played its way into the conference title game. They'll likely get whacked by Winthrop, but if nothing else the game should be fun to watch. As of last week VMI led the nation in scoring offense at 102.7 ppg, and was last in the nation in scoring defense at 99.9 ppg.
