Florida Gators - Men's Basketball
While sending players like Vernon Maxwell to the NBA in the 1980s, the men’s basketball team did not have consistent success until the 1990s, when Lon Kruger coached the team to its first Final Four in 1994. He departed for the University of Illinois after an unspectacular 1995 season.
Jeremy Foley, looking for a young coach with a proven track record, hired Billy Donovan, then at Marshall, as Kruger's replacement. His recruiting prowess was evident early, bringing future NBA star Jason Williams with him from Marshall and having early recruiting classes with future NBA players Mike Miller, Udonis Haslem, and Matt Bonner, among others. The Gators have made the NCAA Tournament every year since Donovan's third season with the team, a seven-year streak that is easily the school record.
The Gators' best season to date under Donovan was in 1999-2000. The Gators won the regular-season SEC title and advanced to their second Final Four, playing in their first national championship game but ultimately losing it to the Michigan State Spartans.
The team had the distinction of never having won a conference tournament despite several regular-season titles until the 2004-05 season, when they beat rival Kentucky in the title game.
The 2005-2006 team's start of 17-0 is the best in school history, surprising many with a young but selfless squad following the graduation of David Lee and the departures of Matt Walsh and Anthony Roberson to the NBA. The team started the season unranked, but as of the week of January 30 - February 5 are now ranked 7th and 8th in the major basketball polls with a record of 19-2.
