Last Thursday, Mike White took the court of the O’Connell Center for the first time as Florida’s head coach. In an 89-42 exhibition game victory over Division II Palm Beach Atlantic, White observed his team’s strengths and weaknesses in a game situation just eight days before the regular season began.
As the Gators prepare to take on Navy in the season-opener on Friday night at 9:30 in Annapolis, Maryland, White knows the adjustments his team needs to make from the exhibition game to start the season off on the right foot.
"I think everyone in the O’Dome knew we weren’t handling the basketball and making great decisions the way we need to to be a successful team," White said of the Gators’ performance against Palm Beach Atlantic.
