Florida’s women’s basketball team has relied heavily on its backcourt tandem of point guard Kiara Smith and shooting guard Lavender Briggs.
The two have developed a good rapport less than a month into the season, and it has been one of the main reasons why UF enjoyed its first 4-0 start under coach Cam Newbauer.
Briggs, however, is considered day-to-day after suffering a high ankle sprain in practice earlier this week.
She didn’t play Friday night against No. 18 Indiana, and her absence doomed Florida’s offense, as the Gators fell 73-49 against the Hoosiers at the O’Connell Center.
