After a couple of expected victories, the 6-3 Gators take on the 9-0 fifth ranked UConn Huskies. Tip is Wednesday at 9:00pm and the game will be on ESPN2. The Huskies have blowout wins over Iowa St, Oregon, and Alabama. They haven't even been tested yet this season. UConn appears solid in all areas, goes 10deep, and plays stifling defense. This will be a tough test. Pick the score, the MVG, and the SoG. Assist differential will the SoG. The Huskies avg 18 assists and the Gators avg 13.7. My pick: Gators 71 Huskies 79 Mvg Castleton Sog -4
Gators 86 Huskies 83 MVG- Bonham ( at the line down the stretch) SOG-0 UConn has played neither a close game nor a road game. They will fold under the pressure of the O-Dome crowd.
Win, lose, we are going to grow and learn. I just hope we leave our best effort on the floor for the whole game. aggressive, share the ball and make crisp passes and defend!
There's no way the Gators can win this one. But I'm picking 'em anyway. Gators 82, Yukon 81 (half-court shot by Jitoboh at the buzzer). MVG: Will Richard. SOG: Even.
