Still think Oregon should have gone after Donovan hard, very hard when they replaced Kent as head coach. He's an excellent coach. And if Florida plays the tourney the way they played last week, they should just ship the trophy now.

Donovan's not uprooting his family to move three time zones away. If he passed on Kentucky (twice) he would have passed on Oregon.

As for the team, we're playing well...so is Tennessee, Louisville, Wichita State, Villanova and a couple other teams.

In 2007 I felt like UF was unbeatable. I don't have that feeling this season. Great run though.

I agree it's often difficult to get a coach to move across country simply because they like to stay close to the recruiting areas they know best. Sure recruiting is a "national" job, it's just a bit easier or comfortable staying close to areas you know. I think the Kentucky job carries some "negatives" relative to the Oregon job. It's a very "high" pressure job because of the expectations of the fans. Oregon is sort of the "new kid" on the block, new this, new that and not a lot of great history in the last 20 years. Lots of upside potential.

Yes. UF is locked in at a 1 seed.

Are you suggesting that losing to UT would be considered an embarrassing, pathetic, inexcusable and horrific loss by the committee, to the point where UF would drop to a 4 seed?

Pretty much. Nothing so drastic as a 4, though.

No **** he's an excellent coach... Why would he leave UF to go to Oregon, though?

I know right?

It took him nearly two decades to build UF's basketball program to where it is now.

Why would he leave to go somewhere like Oregon where he'd have to do the same thing all over again?

The typical reasons a coach moves......... Facilities, money, tougher competition and Oregon is a pretty nice place to raise a family.

But all this means nothing since Oregon isn't looking and Donovan isn't looking.

Villanova isn't very good. By any standard, not just a 1 seed standard.

So what happens now. Let's say UVa wins the ACC tourney. Are they the fourth #1?

What if Duke wins the ACC tourney? Do they get it?

Any chance Louisville or Wisconsin can steal it?

the 2014 Florida team would have been beatable in 2007 but this is really weak field and Florida might dominate as much as the 07 team did with this competition.

Winner of Wisconsin/Michigan tomorrow gets the last 1 seed. Hoping it's Wisconsin because I hate the idea of UM as 1 seed
