Seemingly everything was going right for the Gators on Saturday as a 3-point barrage coupled with a dominating performance on the glass gave them a commanding 102-63 win over Long Beach State. Finishing with 6 players in double figures the Gators were able to find open shots all game long as they picked apart both man and zone defenses rolled out by a Long Beach State team long known as the 49ers before making a switch to “The Beach” this season. This wasn’t a major resume win or anything that will really change the national perception of the Gators but it should be an encouraging outcome that helps the team gain some confidence as they now have a week to prepare for their SEC opener against Alabama.
