The bad news first: In their rescheduled-by-COVID game against Ole Miss on Monday night (7 p.m., SEC Network or streaming), the Florida Gators men’s basketball team will be without not just Colin Castleton, out due to a left shoulder injury, but without C.J. Felder, who will miss the game with a non-COVID illness.
That makes getting a win over the Rebels in Oxford a little bit harder, no question.
But the good news is that the Gators aren’t exactly running into a juggernaut.
Ole Miss is 1-5 in SEC play, and its only win came over Mississippi State in a game in which the Rebels made 11 of 23 threes and 53 percent of their twos; when not so hot, they have lost to Western Kentucky, Florida transfer Ques Glover-led Samford, and Missouri — by 25 — this season.
