When the Florida Gators tip with the North Florida Ospreys on Thursday night in Gainesville, one can safely predict rain in the O’Connell Center.
That’s what happens when Mik3 Whit3’s Gators and the Birds of Trey play.
Florida wing Egor Koulechov — currently the nation’s leading scorer and the No. 2 player in KenPom’s Player of the Year standings, which are definitely not the products of a ridiculously small sample size at the moment — led a record-setting barrage by the Gators in their opener against Gardner Webb on Monday, scoring 34 points to tie a school record for points in a debut and sinking six of Florida’s 15 threes, the program’s most in a season opener.
