There aren’t going to be any easy SEC games for the Gator basketball team this year but speaking in relative terms South Carolina is probably the team you want to kick off your league schedule with, especially at home. Coming into Gainesville at 5-7 on the year (albeit with a difficult schedule) the Gamecocks are still searching for some rhythm but the Gators will be looking to continue the trauma for a team that has lost 4 of their last 5 games with their only win coming against Division-II North Greenville. With the Gators looking to gain some momentum in their season with a win to kick off the SEC schedule here are some of the storylines to keep in mind.
