Overall the Charleston Classic was a great success for the Gators playing their best basketball so far of the season. Players looked noticeably more comfortable within the offense, the defense was communicating at a high level, and most of all they came away with some much-needed victories.
The Gators now move on to a different challenge and that’s the Marshall Thundering Herd of Conference USA who will head into Gainesville on Friday. This is definitely a different caliber of opponent than the Gators just saw with Miami and Xavier but with momentum rolling in their favor Florida can’t afford a flat performance before heading into a difficult stretch of their schedule that sees Butler, Providence, and Utah State.
