Dooley’s Dozen: 12 favorite Sweet 16 games for Florida basketball

With the Sweet 16 currently underway, here’s a look at our favorite games played by the Gators in this round.

OK, the last Dooley’s Dozen may have depressed you a little as I gave you my 12 reasons why Florida has sunk into mediocrity in football and basketball.

The only thing I can do to lift your spirits is to relive the past, especially when it comes to basketball.

I started thinking about all of the Sweet 16s I was lucky enough to cover and some I did not cover. So, I decided to rank them.

Of course, there are only 11 in the history of Florida basketball and here are the coaches who made it that far:

Norm Sloan 1.

Lon Kruger 1.

Mike White 1.

Billy Donovan, the other 8.

Sigh.

By the way, I found a way to make it 12.

Here we go.
