Florida’s annual contest with the Florida State Seminoles is always one of the high points of the non-conference schedule, and Todd Golden’s group is ready to answer the call after coming up short against Virginia a week ago.
UF earned a nice bounceback win against Florida A&M on Tuesday, but there are plenty of questions surrounding the team heading into the second weekend of the regular season. Most concern the backcourt, which features two returning starters — Riley Kugel and Will Richard.
