Has Florida ever lost 6 SEC matches in a season? 6-6 is hard to believe next to Florida’s name. Has a team ever lost 3 of its Top 4 players to injury and still been in a position to make the NCAA tournament?*** Not really hard to believe when considering the situation. And to answer your question no, I cannot recall a time in the Wise era where Florida had 6 losses. It felt like the world was ending in 2015 when we finished with 5 SEC losses. |

That's not even counting losing two of their best players to transfer, including a current NPOY candidate. |

So do we think Mizzou is a “lock” for the tournament? 35 in the RPI, a nice win against Georgia today. But they could realistically lose their next 5 matches (A&M, Auburn, Florida, Kentucky, and Georgia again). Four of those opponents are in the top 27 in RPI and Georgia is 53. Would winning just 1 of those matches make them a lock? I love Dawn but I did not think she’d be able to turn them into a tournament team again so soon |

Before that place was turned into a s$& show by the last coaching staff that used to be the standard. |

I think they have a fair chance of beating A&M and Auburn. Hell, they could push Florida. Agreed, that was just a worst case scenario question. Thank you! |

I've been biting my tongue but Florida fans blaming everything on injuries is getting old.
Florida still has too much talent on its roster to be 6-6 in the SEC, THERE I said it.

Yeah, I'm not going to cut Florida any slack because they lost players to the transfer portal lol |

I don’t cut Florida any slack at all on a personal basis. Them’s the breaks. But they could have had a monster team if things had gone differently. They didn’t. Oh well. |

I agree, especially when 3 of the 6 starters did not really pass and the main problem I've seen is basic ball control. I've said it so many times but they're going through a mental block. - Barely talking to each other on court - always leads to Elli and DS's fighting over an overpass or SR - No one communicating an obvious overpass - All the 'small' things that other teams are able to do, Florida just can't do it right. - Too many tight OOS sets and not enough trust to swing on every dig opportunity In my eyes, it's 100% a psychological problem that the team is going through, I don't think they've had an actual leader on the court. I will always stand beside the team but it's really hard to watch when all I see is just a lack of leadership. |

Stucky is an absolute game changer, but I think Muff has done a very good job given Florida's passing. But anyone who claims Hutson is one of Florida's top 3 players must have forgotten she was hitting .197 with 2.6 kills per set. AC and Sofia are bringing better production than that.
I think the team misses Dixon the most, but Florida's success shouldn't hinge on a grad transfer playing out of position. And let's not forget, even with Dixon, Florida lost to A&M and got swept by Auburn.

Hutson was why we came back to beat Penn State and a major reason why we beat Stanford. Starting your career hitting .200 on the outside against 2 prominent programs is no easy feat. She earned the spot over ACF and played better than Victoria. She had to be taken out of the USF game due to her injury and that showed in her stats dropping that game. We will never know what may have been but she would have been a game changer for Florida this season. |

You're making crazy speculative leaps about a true freshman, who as you stated, played one match fully healthy. And again, Hutson does nothing to solve Florida's glaring weakness: passing.

Any chance for LSU at Florida? Career-high night Jurnee Robinson getting LSU back in the at-large discussion in an upset over Florida, any takers?
