NCDS: Rob Lanier, Asst. Coach - Florida ("Improved Defense")
We are now 10 games into conference play. You often hear the phrase: "It's a marathon, not a sprint" when coaches are referring to the grind of a college basketball season. It happens to be true and is never more evident than in conference play.

It's Thursday January 6th. I'm on the road recruiting for the 3rd consecutive day. We last played this past Monday against a talented and scrappy Rhode Island team and our next game is this coming Saturday at home vs Ole Miss in our SEC opener. So I am taking advantage of this break in the game schedule to see some prospects.

To this point our team, like most teams this time of year, remains a work in progress. We came into this season with much higher expectations than in any of the previous three years since the back to back National Championship run.

We are currently sitting at 15-6 and 4-3 in SEC play. We've had several losses we'd like to get back and a couple of wins that we have stolen from the jaws of defeat. So our work in progress continues. Our toughest loss of the year took place earlier this week at Tennessee.

The season is still young but it has already provided a wide range of experiences for our players and coaches. We came into the season with very little fanfare and limited expectations placed on us. We began the season with the kind of optimism and enthusiasm that is characteristic of most teams going into a season.

We are three games (Stetson, Georgia Southern, Troy) into our regular season and we are clearly a team in the process of establishing an identity. Billy Donovan coached teams have generally been prolific offensive teams. The past two seasons we've ranked at the top of the SEC in virtually every offensive category. The problem has been that we ranked at the bottom of the league in every defensive and rebounding area.
