GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Believe it or not, tournament time has arrived for basketball and the madness is less than a week away.
But before we get to the Big Dance, the SEC Tournament is underway in Nashville and the Gators are returning to Music City with something to prove. On today's show, host Adam Schick checks in with Gators senior forward Justin Leon as he reaches the twilight of his short tenure wearing the orange and blue (1:10).
