The meeting near half court has been documented.
Before the Florida men's basketball game last Saturday, a group of West Virginia players purposely began performing their pre-game routine close to UF's huddle. The two teams exchanged words and several shoves before they were separated by coaches.
As the two sides faced each other on the court prior to tipoff, they might as well have been looking into a mirror.
Florida and West Virginia are two eerily similar teams — they both have stingy, stoic defenses that rank 36th and 49th nationally in opponents’ points per game, respectively.
