Florida basketball has been hit hard by the injury bug — particularly in its frontcourt — which led to its loss at the Tennessee Volunteers on Wednesday night despite a valiant effort away from home. With leading scorer Colin Castleton still out indefinitely with a shoulder issue and Jason Jitoboh out for the rest of the season after having eye surgery to repair an injury that came against the Vols, the shorthanded Gators will host the Oklahoma State Cowboys in the O’Connell Center on Saturday for this year’s SEC/Big 12 Challenge game.
Florida comes in with a better overall record at 12-8 against Oklahoma State’s 10-9 mark, though both teams share the same success in their respective conferences, notching a 2-3 tally apiece heading into this afternoon’s game. However, the Cowboys have a win over the then-No. 1 Baylor Bears on the road to their credit, which far exceeds any of the Gators’ best victories this season.
