The Florida Gators are having a horrible season. There is no other way to put it. This was a team that was expected to make a run in the Big Dance entering 2014-15. Now, the only way the Gators are even going to make said Big Dance is if they win their conference tournament.

Who knows, that could be one of the five bold predictions we have in store for the rest of Florida’s season. Spoiler alert: It’s not.

This one is more shocking than bold. Shocking because Florida has been so good the last few years, but not so bold because this team is currently 12-10. At this rate, it won’t have to worry about sweating it out during Selection Sunday.

2. Makes A Run in SEC Tournament

Like I said before, Donovan really does have a talented team. With their backs against the wall and needing a miracle entering the SEC tournament, the Gators will finally look somewhat like the team we expected to see entering 2014-15.

Florida could use a serious winning streak. Two wins over Kentucky would also do this team wonders. If that serious winning streak doesn’t happen, and if the Gators don’t beat the Wildcats at least once, then they will be settling for the NIT this year.
