UF versus Providence. 7PM, ESPN2.
Providence's W-L 6-5. They have about 4 guys 6'7" - 6'9". UF is taller. They have lost games to crummy teams. UF should handle them easily, so look for a tight nail-biting contest.

Providence ......................... Gators
PPG = 74.9 .......................... 67
FG% = 42% ......................... 43%
3pt% = 34% ........................... 29%
FT% = 67% ............................ 70%

After a spacious practice gap, let's see how fired up these Gators approach this game. To them, this should be these Gators' chance to turn the adrift-season around the corner.

IMO, 2020 football season should force White into often serving as Mr. 2-bits. (that's impossible to visualize :cool:). Can you see a difference if Mullin was brought in to raise this basketball team's enthusiasm?

Seeing that PC has a 6-5 record, guess it is safe to assume that Ernie D and Marvin Barnes are not part of the team (or anyone near that type of talent).

Lee For Three would make a solid Mr. 2-bits for basketball ....( 'cept he might create a cheer to retract White's extension).

Thank goodness we have a Gator game tonight! I have been going through Gator sport withdrawal for the past several days.

Thanks for the flashback. Those two were something to see

This is another game we should win but who knows what the "new offense" will be.
Thankfully the shot clock will keep White from installing the four corners offense which isn't too far from what we have seen so far.

Might prefer four corners if it were run competently.

2.5h drive with the wife and son (10y old), met the BIL (from NJ). Row 12 behind the backboard. Wife is super pumped with a gator Santa hat and she made a poster with our son in hopes of being seen on tv.

God, I hope we don’t blow this.

It's a mixed blessing at best - the BB "team" is a collection of parts waiting to be assembled into something that resembles an effective, reasonably cohesive unit. I'll watch because I'm a Gator fan and that's what I do, but I've learned not to get my hopes up with MW as HC.

80-85% Florida fans, of a VERY small overall crowd. Earlier game (Princeton over Iona, during rush hour traffic) barely had 1k, I’d put this game at 3-4K for tip-off. Arena holds 20k. Nice arena, but very empty. I guess Miami is the big draw for prime time.
