The SEC fined South Carolina when its fans rushed the floor in celebration of a victory over Kentucky on Feb. 15.
After Florida beat the Cats, Coach Billy Donovan apologized.
One of his players, freshman Al Horford, jumped into the first row of the student section to celebrate with the Rowdy Reptiles. David Lee, Corey Brewer, Anthony Roberson and Adrian Moss jumped onto the sideline press table to gyrate for the fans. Lee and Roberson stripped off their jerseys and posed bare-chested.
"I've got a major problem with that ... ," Donovan said of Horford's actions. "One thing I respect about Kentucky, when they win they act like they've been there before."
Donovan labeled Florida's actions as "a level of immaturity."
Said the Florida coach, "To me, we shouldn't be a team storming the floor or running around out there and jumping on the tables. If that happened, I apologize to Kentucky."
Florida's not alone? UNC's fans stormed the court after beating Duke yesterday. That's North Carolina. Man, how the mighty have fallen.
