Gators sit atop 2013 team rankings – “6. Michigan – The Wolverines continue to load up their roster with high-level talent. Irvin’s game has taken a huge leap over the last year and he’s a versatile wing with terrific size.

Inside the Huddle with Corey Person – “Our motto is, ‘March starts right now.’ We have to put in the work in the weight room and in the gym so I told the guys if you want to win those games you have to put in the time now. With the guys we have now, everybody is motivated and wants to get better. Eventually our goal is to win a Big Ten championship and get to Atlanta this year (where the NCAA Final Four will be hosted).”
