Back on February 4, I suggested that Tennessee men's basketball coach Bruce Pearl owns Florida coach Billy Donovan. Pearl ran his record against Donovan to 5-1 tonight as Tennessee went to Gainesville and beat the Mighty Gators 89-86. The Volunteers overcame a 16-point deficit in claiming the win.
However, the most important thing to come out of this game is that the Vols clinched the SEC regular season championship. Vanderbilt helped out by beating Mississippi State in overtime to eliminate the Bulldogs.
Congratulations to Coach Pearl and the players. Well done.

Donovan is a great coach and recruiter. He'll be back on top soon.
While Donovan is good at what he does, I don't see him making it back to the top for a while. There is way too much competition in the SEC East these days, primarily from Tennessee, Vanderbilt, and Kentucky.
