I thought we built equal facilities for the women's BB team when we built the new BB practice facility across from the track a few years ago. If so, facilities should be as good as anyone in the conference. A. Leon Polhill, Gator "I was gratified to be able to answer promptly, and I did. I said I didn't know." - Mark Twain

I would suspect that our facilities for women's hoops certainly ranks well below those at say Tennessee, UConn, Maryland, or Baylor. The games are sparsely attended, unlike volleyball (usually 2-3k), softball (SRO), lacrosse (1/2 full most times, if not more) or gymnastics (3-5k). It can't be easy to sell coming to UF over other programs, but with Moss, Needles, a 6' 7" transfer (McIntyre), a very promising freshman on the bench due to injury and another due to transfer, she is showing that she is finally getting the recruits she needs. If they cut Butler now, really - who the heck will they get that's better?
