With their regular season opener against Elon less than two weeks away, the preseason is starting to wind down for the new-look Gators basketball team.
Instead of playing against each other every day with no end in sight, they’re now starting to find out how they stack up against other teams. They hosted North Carolina in a “secret scrimmage” in the O’Connell Center on Saturday, and they’ll play Embry-Riddle in an exhibition game on Monday night.
While everyone associated with the program is excited to play somebody that’s not wearing orange and blue, this can be a very stressful time of the year for coaches.
