Gators looking to defend title in Georgia Dome in 2007

The University of Florida Gators look to defend its national championship, when the 2007 NCAA Men’s Final Four returns to the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia, March 31 thru April 2. Last year, Head Coach Billy Donovan and his young Gators marched to the national championship by winning its six NCAA Tournament games by an average margin of 16 points, culminating in a 73-57 victory over UCLA in Indianapolis.

The Gators are looking to become just the sixth school in NCAA history to capture back-to-back NCAA Men’s Basketball national championships. With the return of all five starters off last year’s 33-6 team, expectations in Gainesville are understandably high. While Florida is the team to beat entering the 2006-2007 season, the road to Atlanta is paved with teams looking to dethrone the Gators and cut down the nets at the Georgia Dome on April 2. Keep an eye on North Carolina, Kansas, and Ohio State, as the biggest threats to Florida’s quest for a repeat.
