The Gators had to play again on Wednesday night just 48 hours removed from what may be the worst loss in program history, a 15-point setback at home against Texas Southern on Monday night. The Gators were ineffective in almost every aspect of the game in that one.
Against the 2-8 North Florida Ospreys, however, things went differently. Florida didn’t entirely right the ship, and there are still some things it needs to tune-up before SEC play begins. But the Gators were much better this time around. They took control early and never let go, getting back in the win column with an 85-55 win.
Beating an Ospreys team that entered ranked No. 326 in the NET won’t do much to resuscitate Florida’s image, and it needs to beat Maryland on Sunday in Brooklyn to really start to get back on track. But all you can do is win the games in front of you, and that’s what UF did against UNF. Here are some things the team did better in this one and some areas it still needs to work on.
