I hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving and has recovered from the football-induced acid reflux. The challenging pre-conference hoops schedule continues with the 4-2 Gators facing 3-3 Wake Forest on Wednesday, Nov 29, 7:15pm at Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum. The game will be broadcast on ESPNU. Wake has close losses against GA and LSU, but this one will be at their house. Pick the score, the Most Valuable Gator (MVG), and the Stat of the Game (SoG). For this game, SoG will be Zyon Pullin assists. Pullin averages 5.7 assists/game. My pick: Gators 81 Wake 77 MVG Samuel SoG 6
Didn't the Gators go to Wake back in the day and beat a team led by Tim Duncan? Added in edit: We played the game in Greensboro in the 1994-95 season.
Fla. 84 Wake F. 77 Walter. MVG SOG. 7 This will not be easy, their fans really support them, the refs will help them. Stay focused and take it to them!
Gators 89 Wake Forest 76 Safe bet to have a good game here is Kugel. Coming off a great performance and will be facing guys many steps slower than him. Wake will be forced to double Samuel because he’s just way more talented than any of their bigs. They’ll gamble and hope we don’t hit our outside shots. Lots of driving lanes open up for Kugel. Pullin 7 assists.
