While Schuyler Rimmer’s first start for Florida seemed surreal, the elbow to the face from Arkansas’ Moses Kingsley was unmistakably authentic.

Trying to draw a charge, Rimmer hit the floor and the referees reviewed the play.

“When they went to the monitor, I thought maybe they were gonna call a foul on me or something,” Rimmer said.

But he didn’t have to worry. The referees called an offensive foul on Kingsley.

“He’s hard to stop,” Rimmer said. “So I think that was probably the best possible outcome.”

Rimmer hasn’t played much. The 6-foot-10 center has spent more than 90 percent of the season glued to the bench.
