Florida basketball: First games will tell a lot about the Gators

Florida basketball forward/center Kerry Blackshear said the one thing the No. 6 Gators understand is that they will be undersized in a lot of matchups.

“We always have to be ready to be accountable and box out our man,” Blackshear said. “But, we also have to help out our teammates when we have the opportunity.”

No. 6 Florida basketball will start the quest to see what they are made up when they host North Florida at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

The Ospreys — picked to challenge for the Atlantic Sun Conference title this season — boasts a pair of seniors in Wajid Aminu and Garrett Sams who both stand 6-foot-7.
