Typically when you see a high-major team matching up with an opponent from a smaller conference the bigger school is trying to accelerate tempo and create more possessions in a game where their talent and depth should (hypothetically) win out. That wasn’t the case for the Gators against Towson where they kept things slow and only attempted 5 shots in transition, attempts that yielded 2 field goals including an and-one from Tre Mann. Only attempting 5 shots in a modern basketball game is a wild feat considering how many teams are looking to score off the break and many fans found this number extremely concerning, even though it may not be all that surprising.
