Up-and-down Gators host No. 10 Michigan State in basketball seeking signature win

UF coach Mike White said the Gators will have to raise their game to another level to challenge No. 10 Michigan State.

Despite Mike White’s subdued tone Friday morning, it’s been a pretty good week so far for UF’s head basketball coach.

It could be a great one if the Gators knock off 10th-ranked Michigan State.

Tuesday night’s win against West Virginia in Madison Square Garden — known as “The World's Most Famous Arena” — was a nice start to the week. A victory at noon Saturday in the O’Connell Center against one of college basketball’s bluebloods would be quite a finish.
