Instead of national titles like 2006 and 2007, the Gators were coming off consecutive appearances in the National Invitational Tournament when Boynton and Murphy arrived as highly touted freshman.
However, this time around Florida has proven to be a very balanced offensive team this season, as their starting lineup all average between nine and 13 points a game. Senior Erik Murphy leads the team with an average of 12.6 points.
"We want to leave that legacy of just being winners," Murphy said. "We've just got to win every game we can."
Against Northwestern State, the Gators better be ready to run.
Demons coach Mike McConathy's unconventional system involves the rotation of two groups of five players in and out of the game -- similar to a hockey team switching lines during a game. Each group will play several minutes at a time.
They are the nation's top-scoring team at 81 points per game, though they did play one of the weaker schedules of anyone in the country.
The Gators are third nationally, allowing only 53.7 points a game while outscoring teams by 18 points a game. The 66 points by Ole Miss were the most allowed by Florida in 12 games. Only two opponents have scored more -- Kansas State's 67 before Christmas and Arkansas' 80 on Feb. 5.
