The annual battle between Florida and Florida State cagers wasn't much of a fight (the Gators won handily) but it did bring us an early nominee for block of the year, a "YOINK!" of tremendous measure when Florida sophomore Patric Young elevated to rip the ball straight from layup-minded Seminole s...
