College basketball insider Jeff Goodman calls Florida the 'most disappointing' team this season
The Florida Gators had some high expectations coming into the 2019-20 season, but it has been a roller coaster of ups and downs.
The Gators just ended the regular season with a disappointing last-second loss to Kentucky. Now, instead of being the No. 2 seed in the SEC Tournament, they’ll be the No. 5 seed and not get a double-bye.
That prompted college basketball insider Jeff Goodman to proclaim that the Gators are the most disappointing team this season:
For my money (and I know UNC has been awful), Florida has been the most disappointing team thus far this season. I just expected so much more from the Gators.
But no one will care if they can somehow make a run in the NCAA tourney.

He acknowledges it has been a rough year for North Carolina, too, but since the Gators had Final Four expectations heading into the season, it’s tough to argue with his choice.
However, as he mentions, it can all go away with a deep postseason run.
It’s a shame UF is wasting all that talent. Their 2020 football season is lining up to have a similar result.
Heh, heh, heh. You don’t say?
awww the ole UGA dumb@ss routine. IF UF is wasting all its talent in football finishing in the top 6 with a NY6 bowl win with the 15th most talented team and looking to do better next year due to the schedule. Then what has UGA with the third ranked most talented team and finishing at or one spot above UF in the final rankings with a 1-1 record in NY6 bowls the last two years?
sounds like UGA is criminally wasting talent based on your assessment. must be rough for you UGAGrad417
Skipping the part where that wasted talent is 2-0 against Georgia with their top recruit.
Crean is building a program that will kick the Gators a$$. Kirby has already built a program that kicks Gator a$$ on the football field. Four in a row this year. Don’t bet on the Coach Mullet. Just sayin’.
That actually makes sense! Crean accumulating top level talent to beat Florida. That’s what Kirby has done, isn’t it?
Accumulate (on paper anyway) the best collective of college players on the planet!!!- and beat Florida.
That’s why UGA fans are constantly on articles about Florida. They’ve got no where else to go!
What’s it going to take for UGA to win the title if world’s best players only gets you by Florida? Hiring a one day retired Nick Saban as an analyst?
Just sayin!
Oh UGAGrad417 smh. You have such low standards
Mike white was outcoached by John calipery.
When you are leading the entire game by wide margin and you lose by one point at the buzzer you are outcoached. This is not the first time it will not the last time for coach white at Florida.
Giving that game to Kentucky was just plain bad. We can get it together in the SEC tournament and find a solid rotation. Then Mike White can take us deep into March Madness. If this doesn’t happen White’s tenor is in question moving forward.
I don’t know if this is even debatable
It is. UNC was #9 preseason and they won’t even make the tournament. UF was ranked higher, but at least they will make the dance.
They Shouldn’t……Love the Gators, But, THEY DO NOT Belong In The Tournament.
I agree with Goodman.
While Florida was disappointing this season, I feel they were a little overrated before the season. Mike White is a solid coach, but not great. Tough following a legend like Donovan.
