If there was ever a chance to right the wrongs of a slow start, Florida basketball has it in the palm of their hands.
Tonight, the Gators (4-2) have a chance for early-season redemption when they take on No. 18 Xavier (6-0) in the championship of the Charleston Classic in South Carolina.
Florida basketball has made an impressive run of late, squeaking by St. Joseph’s in the first round and put together perhaps its best outing of the season on a blowout win over Miami in the semifinals.
Tonight, however, will mark an opportunity for the Gators to put losses to Florida State and UConn behind them before returning home to face Marshall on Black Friday.
