Florida In Exclusive Company

Hello. Congrats to the University of Florida Gators for winning their second consecutive NCAA Men's Basketball tournament. They're the first to do it since 1991-92, and the first ever to do it with the same starting 5 players consecutively. They also achieved a rare triple by winning the NCAA Football title in January against Ohio State.
As an unfortunate sidenote, Ohio State achieved the rare feat of losing the football and basketball titles in the same year.
I thought Georgetown would've given Florida a better run, since I thought they had better big men to take on Florida's squad. While I didn't see how Ohio State beat Georgetown, they obviously could not do the same thing to Florida. Too much depth and too many big men nullified Greg Oden and crew.
So where does Florida go from here? They still have 4 juniors who could come back. Whether they will is another story. If they do, they will certainly be ranked as favourites for the 3-peat. Whatever they decide to do, may they have success doing it.
Congrats again!

Regards,
Steve
