After a blowout loss to Florida State on Monday and a stunning defeat at the hands of Loyola of Chicago on Wednesday, the Florida Gators are a team in desperate need of a week.
If they’re going to get one of those this week, it will have to come in Newark and over Cincinnati (6 p.m., ESPN2) — a squad that plays like it needs its victories.
The Bearcats aren’t truly great at any one thing on offense, but it’s hard to find a weakness for them at that end except for free throws. Forward Gary Clark is a load down low, a talented rebounder who also draws fouls and converts at the line efficiently.
