While Vermont and Florida Gulf Coast, whom Florida defeated Wednesday and Friday respectively, put up solid first half fights, they aren’t exactly offensive juggernauts.
Now, the Gators (5-1) are preparing for a tough December schedule before conference play begins that will put Florida’s defense to the test.
That schedule begins tonight with Richmond.
Florida hosts the Spiders (4-2) in the O’Connell Center tonight at 7 in what coach Mike White called a tough test for his Gators team.
On Sunday, White compared Richmond to the Purdue team that beat Florida 85-70 on Nov. 22, a team that can hurt you offensively from anywhere on the floor.
