It wasn’t a good weekend for the Florida Gators. Their basketball team lost in the NCAA Tournament on a last-second three-pointer against Iowa, and their baseball team got swept by the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Florida had a bad series the weekend before facing the Florida State Seminoles, but found a way to win against the Noles in their first mid-week matchup.
The Noles won their series against No. 10 NC State and will face the Florida Gators for a second time in Jacksonville on Tuesday night. Will the Noles avenge the previous loss?
Florida will come into the game with a lot of motivation after getting embarrassed this weekend. However, nothing was more embarrassing than this moment below:

Florida is a bunch of classless players just like their head coach
For context, it’s the bottom of the sixth with two outs. The count is 3-1 on the batter, and the Florida pitcher rears back to throw a 92 mph pitch that’s up and in and hits the batter. Look at where the catcher sets up and how far he has to reach to try to catch the ball. The pitcher’s body language after throwing the pitch tells you all you need to know.
The funny thing is, the next batter drives the first pitch he sees from that same pitcher over the wall for a grand slam to put the game out of reach, ultimately sweeping the Florida Gators.

It couldn't happen to a better human than Kevin O’Sullivan and nothing would be better than handing the Gators another loss on Tuesday night.
