Even though I live in Kentucky, I love Billy Donovan and the Florida Gators - especially this team. Humphries, Noah, Horford, Brewer and Greene - so very unselfish and their friendships together, both on and off the court, really showed through. They always seemed to know where each of them was on the court and they didn't care about who got the most points - as long as they won. A true team effort and an unforgettable team.
@justinbodrero Lol. During my time at Florida, we could not have sucked any worse in basketball. What this team did was amazing in its own merit but what it did for the school cannot be put into words. What they did was as shocking as Kentucky winning a NC in football. Never thought I'd see it in my lifetime.
@UberGator Kentucky won a NC in football? Btw, that's not meant to be a slight, I love UK basketball, football I'll pull for them too, but their football program is not as strong.
@OrangeSodaKing Sorry, I guess my post didn't come across clearly. I didn't mean that UK won a tittle in football. What I meant to say is that is that, 10 years ago, UK winning a title in football would have been as shocking as the Gators winning one in basketball. Before it happened, I never thought that UF would ever win a tittle in BB. I was in disbelief when it happened.
@bradsabeast I am not a big basketball fan but I am pretty sure there were much better before the Gators team of that year. They were probly the best of the decade I will give them that.
@josh19852008 Im not talking about just that one year the way that all 5 of them came back and dominated the way they did the next year to win back to back just showed how great they were
@bradsabeast I do not know much about basketball. I try to watch it but not interested. I watch OSU everyonce in a while. Not saying they were not great.
@toddky32 In a weird way it's kind of true. I think he said it because that team was the only one to win 2 championships with the same starting five in the history of NCAA basketball. So, technically, these Gators were the best starting five ever.
I think a lot of Gator fans forget about the performance Adrian Moss had in the title game against UCLA. He came off the bench with nine points and nine rebounds. What a dominant team that was.
Love the Corey Brewer slam at 1:22 !! and that was against Villanova. I'm a die-hard Gator fan and I didn't see this coming at all. They had won the preseason NIT in the garden but still. Loved this team so much.
I think Florida will be back this coming season because I doubt Billy D will let them continue to fail to make the NCAAs. Florida and Billy D are too good of a program and a coach, respectively, to stay "down" compared to UF's 1999-2007 teams.
What college team or teams do you follow in college basketball and college football? I was just wondering. Hope you're not a Buckeyes fan or Michigan fan.
im an ohio state fan and i just wanna congragulate you guys on an embarrasing win over us in the 06 national championship game and in the 06 NCAA tournament you guys earned it the NCAA basketball was a fun game to watch =)
The Gators beat Ohio in 2007 not 2006. I agree though the game was really fun between Ohio and Florida. Oden Never backed down, neither did Brewer, Noah, or Green.

I remember all the trash UCLA fans were talking before that game and how one said that he already got the UCLA 2006 National Champions shirt. Funny maybe the Buckeye fans should have used that as a reason not to count Championships before there won.

Best starting 5 ever. Taurean green, lee humphrey, corey brewer, al horford, and joakim noah.
