UF braces for test at No. 1 Michigan State

GAINESVILLE — UF coach Mike White has never faced the nation's No. 1 team.

It's not often the Gators have, either.

The timing might not be the best for White and his players. But Saturday's visit to top-ranked Michigan State (10-0) remains an exciting challenge for a first-year coach and a team still coming together.

"It's a great opportunity," UF senior forward Dorian Finney-Smith said. "You always dream about beating the No. 1 team. I think it's going to be a great game, great atmosphere and our guys in the locker room are going to be jacked up.
