The history of Florida schools in final men’s basketball poll
We hear all the time about the rankings of Florida schools in football, but six different Florida schools have finished a season ranked in either the AP or coaches poll since 1960. And for the first time ever, this year, two Florida schools finished in the top 5, with Miami being ranked # 3 and […]
Florida history is made tonight – FAU and Miami take the court in the Final Four
For the first time in our state’s history, we have two schools competing in College sports’ most visible event – the NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Four. Florida Atlantic (FAU) and Miami (UM) have very different basketball histories, with FAU generally being an also-ran program and UM being a frustratingly poor one in many NIT and […]
Central Florida has a new professional soccer club that debuts tonight

Cinderella still dancing in Boca Raton while Coach L continues his magnificence in Coral Gables. The Miami women are rolling as well. It’s March in south Florida!
Incredibly, the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach MSA is the only US metro area with two Sweet 16 men’s teams (and a women’s one as the University of Miami women have made the Sweet 16). FAU and Miami have both made the Sweet 16, taking different routes with differing expectations. For FAU, this is an incredible […]
March Madness is here – 27 years of data for Florida D1 schools
Obviously, I work in soccer, but otherwise really don’t follow sports closely – other than men’s College Basketball. Heck, I don’t even watch the Super Bowl (and usually don’t know who plays in it)! I watched sports religiously when I was younger but gradually weened off of them outside of men’s NCAA Hoops. This year […]
