Hooped Up

On Sunday, some members of the Florida Gators were asked whether they may be able to beat one of the bottom five clubs in the NBA.

“I don’t know, it would be a lot of fun,” said Florida’s Corey Brewer. “We’d be competitive. I don’t know if we’d win, but we’d be competitive.”

“We’d get after it pretty good,” said Al Horford. “We’d give them a run for their money.”

“I think we’d do pretty well,” said Taurean Green. “It’s hard to say. These guys are the NBA.”

“I don’t know,” said Lee Humphrey. “That’s hard to say. All these guys are already in the NBA so you know they’re talented. You don’t know how many of our guys will be in the NBA. I think three definitely. I don’t want to say we’d beat them.”

Mark Cuban disagrees with the assessments from the Gators.

“The best college team of the last 10 years,” wrote Cuban in an e-mail, “would lose by 50 to any team at the bottom of the NBA.”
