The Florida Gators are coming off a surprising — still, somehow, this team can surprise — week in which a resounding win over South Carolina gave way to agonizing losses to Georgia and South Carolina. They could really use a painless win to get back on the right side of the ledger.
Instead, they play the SEC’s second-place team, a tough and surprising Tennessee squad, in Knoxville on this Wednesday night (9 p.m., ESPN2 or WatchESPN).
That’s not exactly what a team that is literally doing Mikan drills to focus on layups needs.
