Florida puts its three-game winning streak on the line against No. 11 West Virginia on Saturday. The Gators will travel to Morgantown, W.Va., to take part in the Big 12/SEC Challenge, where they will look to earn their second ranked win of the season.
UF is 9-4 coming off a seven-point win over Vanderbilt in its last outing. Despite being shorthanded in recent weeks, Florida has won four of its last five, including an upset over then-No. 6 Tennessee (which helped propel it to a No. 27 NET ranking).
The Mountaineers are ranked No. 21 in the NET, and their 11-4 record may be a bit deceiving. After all, they have the second-hardest schedule in the country and haven’t lost to a team outside the NET’s top 20.
Florida is closer to full strength now for this matchup, and it will look to pull off another resume-building win. Here are three things the Gators need to do to make that happen.
