Momentum

I am having a really good time watching the young Gator basketball team play this season.  I have a similar feeling to the one I had a couple years back watching the Sophomore Sensations, the “04’s,” as they’ve come to be known early in their careers.  No one expected much out of Noah, Horford, et al two years ago, as they just began conference play for the season, but I saw some potential, and I see a bunch of it on this year’s team.   I am seeing the undeniable effects of good coaching on talented players, and their willingness to do whatever the moment dictates to be the right decision, at least for a half of each game now.    Speights in particular has progressed this season quickly, realizing finally his physical advantage over most post players in the league.   He is finally getting a little tougher, and trying to lead somewhat, especially the last two games.    The one weakness seems to be a drop-off in terms of depth, although Tyus has shown me some real hustle at times, as has Adam Allen.  And when Chandler Parsons gets his shot to start falling, LOOK OUT>  This kid could be something pretty special.   Calathes’ numbers this season, over 15 ppg, with tons of assists, pretty much speak for themselves.   I’m thinking we’re a shoe-in for the tourney at this point, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see us end up with a couple wins during the “Madness.”
