    Any basketball team that suits up for Billy Donovan will have to live in the shadow of the Noah, Horford and Brewer-led team that won back-to-back championships only a few seasons ago. It’s like having that athletic, bigger brother that was just better than you at everything.

    But not so fast! This 2013-14 team was about to step out of that shadow and do so quite boldly. Sure, they wouldn’t have won back-to-back titles but they did a number of things those previous teams didn’t. This year’s team went undefeated in conference play, the first SEC team ever do to so at 18-0. This year’s team won thirty straight games. Those other teams didn’t come close to that.

    In the end, however, it was not meant to be. The Florida Gators crashed into the wall their coach had warned them about all season long.
