The 52% shooting from the field says it all and if we keep it up no telling how good this team could be come tournament time. Florida isn't the best team in the league but they aren't the worst either.

Florida sure didn't look like the best team in the SEC as we torched them by shooting 52% from the floor, 60% of our 3's! That doesn't sound like the best defensive team in the SEC to me.

MH, I just checked teams "two" teams, Kentucky and LSU and they both had better defensive records (points scored against) than Florida in SEC games.
