A WARM WINTER'S NIGHT

It is 7:28 a.m. and 44.6 degrees outside with winds steady at 36 miles per hour. They've been gusting higher all night, sounding like a passenger train. Junior is at his computer behind me and Patrick is under his chair.

Gators were crushed by an Ohio State University yesterday. Gators wwere like 2 for 50 on shots beyond the arc--played their stupidest game this year. It's OK, they got their "revenge" in a meaningless gam against a different team... heh, heh.

more later.

100 Moments in Gators History

98. Lowe's shining moment

February 16, 2006

Senior guard Sarah Lowe stepped to the line with her shot at history.

The clock had 3 seconds left on it, and UF and LSU had already needed more than the 40 regulation minutes to decide a winner. The Gators trailed 78-77, and Lowe had just being fouled by Augustus. Two shots to earn probably the biggest win in program history? No problem.

On Senior Day, the Gators shocked the women's college basketball world by upending No. 2 LSU and National Player of the Year Seimone Augustus 79-78.

After the game Lowe sat silently in the postgame press conference blowing bluish-green bubbles.

“There was no doubt in my mind I was going to [make] it,” said Lowe, who had 17 points.” I just walked up there like it was just shooting a free throw in practice. I had to put myself in a different place and just not even worry about the score.”

Then, 10 days later, in what's the greatest regular season week in UF women's basketball history, the Gators shocked the world again at Tennessee 95-93 – in overtime yet again.

However, those close games didn't translate into the postseason as the fifth-seeded Gators were thrashed 83-59 by New Mexico in the first round.
