Old Money Hoops Vs. New Money Hoops

From the Cincy Enquirer:

The second fascinating result from Wednesday was South Carolina completing a season sweep of Florida, in Gainesville.

“After a big win, we fall back a little,” Florida center Joakim Noah said.

The big win in question, of course, was Florida's defeat of Kentucky last Saturday on ESPN. During that game, Gators fans chanted "NIT" in the direction of the Wildcats. Editor's note: Kentucky is the winningest program in college basketball history. Florida, as Noah tells us, is a team that still falls back after a big win.

That's the difference between old money and new money, so to speak, in college hoops.
