Breaking down Florida’s grinding loss to Xavier on Thanksgiving

Here’s a look at how Florida’s loss to Xavier went down in the opener of the Phil Knight Legacy.

Florida basketball opened up the Phil Night Legacy in Portland, Oregon, on Thanksgiving Day with a loss to the Xavier Musketeers by a final score of 90-83. The matchup between a Southeastern Conference school and a Big East representative did not go quite how Gators fans would have liked after having stuffed themselves with dinner on this evening.

[autotag]Tre Bonham[/autotag]’s 23 points led the way while [autotag]Will Richard[/autotag] followed with 18 and [autotag]Riley Kugel[/autotag] with 12 to round out the Gators in double digits; Richard also paced the squad with three steals and [autotag]Kyle Lofton[/autotag] maxed out the assists with six. [autotag]Kowacie Reeves[/autotag] sat this one out due to a coach’s decision that was not elaborated upon.

The biggest story was [autotag]Colin Castleton[/autotag]’s general ineffectiveness on offense throughout the game, scoring just 11 points while grabbing 10 rebounds and blocking four shots. That is a rather modest double-double given his 5-for-14 effort from the field as well as going just 1-for-2 from the free-throw line in 32 minutes played.

Take a look below at a chronological breakdown of the game action as Florida’s second loss of the season unfurled.
