The Gators took care of business Friday night, defeating Kennesaw State 88 to 78. This game was more competitive than Florida’s season opener, but the Gators were able to pull away in the final five minutes to clinch their 2-0 start the season.
It was a historic night for Gators’ forward Colin Castleton, who set a career high in points with 33. Castleton added 9 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 blocks, team highs in all categories. There wasn’t anyone on the Owls with the height, length, or defensive ability to stop him. Castleton’s conditioning is something to note as he played 34 minutes tonight, 17 in each half.
