How Much Does Missing Castleton Hurt The Gators?

When Florida got news that star center Colin Castleton wouldn’t be available for Mississippi State due to a shoulder injury, it was concerning.

When Mike White said after the game that the injury was significant, it was terrifying.

Castleton has been putting together an outstanding senior season averaging 15.4 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 2.8 blocks, and he’s the key to both Florida’s offensive and defensive schemes. Luckily the Gators were able to step up in Castleton’s absence against the Bulldogs playing some of their most inspired basketball of the season and coming away with a convincing win.
