Florida Team Capsule

Posted: Wed March 14, 2001 at 8:56 a.m EST

Coach: Carol Ross (11th year) Nickname: Lady Gators

Record and conference: 23-5, Southeastern Seed, Region and Bid: 3, West, At-large

Previous NCAA Tournament Bids: 7 NCAA Tournament Record: 7-7 Final Four Appearances: 1 NCAA Tournament Championships: None Best NCAA Tournament Finish: 1997, Mideast Regional Final Last NCAA Appearance: 1999, lost to Arizona, 87-84 OT, First Round

Starters: F - Naomi Mobley (6-2, Jr., 10.7 ppg, 9.5 rpg) C - Tamara Stocks (6-3, Sr., 11.0 ppg, 5.0 rpg) G - Brandi McCain (5-3, Jr., 19.8 ppg, 2.6 rpg) G - Tombi Bell (5-5, Sr., 12.6 ppg, 4.9 rpg) G - Monique Cardena (6-0, Jr., 8.6 ppg, 4.5 rpg)

Outlook: A lot of players came into their own as the Lady Gators rolled to a school-record 11 conference wins. They earned homecourt in the first two rounds and that alone should help them. Florida plays at another level when they play at home and any confidence and momentum they may gain in those first two rounds could carry them farther than expected. Brandi McCain is lethal from 3-point range, opening up the inside for Naomi Mobley and Tamara Stocks.
