One of the more amazing stats is that Florida is 28-7 on the year, and 0-7 in games decided by less than 10 points. They literally have not won a close game all year. Hopefully FGCU can keep it close and put the pressure on them.
This is actually one of the reasons I have confidence in Florida to win it all. They're a veteran team who's been to consecutive Elite 8's. They've been in every game they've played -- blown out by nobody. And just like the Orioles's record in 1-run games last year, I don't think Florida's poor record in close games is sustainable.
Unless, of course, there are systematic reasons that lead to them falling apart down the stretch in close games (kind of like our women's team). I hope I don't come to regret picking a Mike Rosario team to get it done in crunch time.
