With a quick turnaround, the Gators host the Jacksonville Dolphins (1-0 after a 78-65 victory over Trinity Baptist) on Thursday, Nov 7 at 8pm in the O'Connell Center. Point of interest, as the venue is listed on ESPN as the Stephen C. O'Connell Center and NOT ExacTech Arena. Did the naming rights expire due to ExacTech's bankruptcy? At any rate, pick the score, the MVG, and the SoG which will be Gator 3pt%. The Gators shot 20% in their win vs. USF. I am unable to locate an early line on this game. If there is no line listed on ESPN, there will be no .5 assigned. My pick: Gators 99 Dolphins 78 MvG Condon SoG 38.5% Edit: The line came out today and will be locked in at 20.5. Guess I was thinking a bit like Vegas, cause I've got the Gators winning by 21.
If we’re going to flirt with it, let’s go ahead and say: Gators 101 Dolphins 75 MVG Clayton SoG 39.7%
UF 88 JU 60 MVG Clayton SOG 33% Coach pushes for a focus on defense and the boys struggle in half court sets as they continue to learn. We dominate on D, transition points, and rebounds.
