The Gators have momentum on their side. They’ve won four games in a row, all of which required gusty performances down the stretch.
They’ve gotten center Colin Castleton back into the starting lineup. Their best shooter, Myreon Jones, has made 14 of his last 23 three-pointers after an extended slump. Tyree Appleby has consistently made smart decisions with the ball and made big plays late to help his team pull out some wins. Phlandrous Fleming has played the best basketball of his brief UF career.
There are still plenty of things to correct for the Gators, but the positivity surrounding the program is at its highest level since the six-game winning streak to start the season.
