Despite a lack of name recognition, Savannah State’s women’s basketball team is not to be taken lightly.
The Gators know that perhaps better than anyone, as they went into Savannah early last December and were handed a 68-58 loss at the hands of the Tigers.
This year, the Tigers will travel to Gainesville to take on the Gators in the O’Connell center tonight at 7.
Despite only two starters remaining from the team that beat Florida less than a year ago, UF coach Amanda Butler knows that Savannah State is going to be a challenge.
"(We’ve) had a couple days here to now get ready for Savannah State — a very tough, scrappy team that’s coming off a fantastic season last year and an NCAA tournament appearance," she said.
