GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA - Florida guard Brett Nelson said this season has ``left a very bad taste in my mouth'' and he will consider going pro instead of staying for his senior year. <br>
<br>
``I don't know what I'm going to do yet,'' Nelson said. ``I'm going to take the next couple of months and see what happens.'' <br>
<br>
Nelson played in Florida's 83-82 double-overtime NCAA tournament loss to Creighton on Friday with a broken cheekbone. He was hurt in practice Tuesday in a fight with teammate LaDarius Halton. <br>
<br>
Nelson shot 4-for-19 and finished with 13 points. Once one of Florida's best shooters, he ended the season shooting 39 percent from the floor. <br>
<br>
His draft stock went down as the season went on, and many people thought he would stay another season. The deadline for declaring for the NBA draft is in mid-May. <br>
<br>
``I'm going to talk to my parents and talk to coaches and stuff like that and see what happens,'' Nelson said. ``There's no doubt, though, that all of this has left a very bad taste in my mouth.'' <br>
<br>
Nelson said his broken cheekbone had nothing to do with his poor shooting against Creighton. He also denied the fight had anything to do with Florida's loss. <br>
<br>
Nelson had a shot to win the game at the end of regulation, but missed. Creighton's Terrell Taylor made a 3-pointer with 0.2 seconds left in the second OT to win the game. <br>
<br>
``People blame me for all kinds of stuff around here, whether it's the media or fans or whatever, I'm used to it by now,'' Nelson said. ``My eye had nothing to do with me missing that shot or that kid hitting a great shot at the end.''
