Florida vs. Tennessee, Game Thread: Gators face greatest test and opportunity
Kim Klement-USA TODAY SportsThe Florida Gators welcome the No. 3 Tennessee Volunteers to the O’Connell Center this Saturday (6 p.m., ESPN or WatchESPN) as a team in search of a signature win.
Tennessee could provide that.
But the Gators will need to overcome their toughest test all year to get it.
The Vols are No. 3 for a variety of reasons, but it mostly boils down to a 13-1 record marred only by a neutral-site loss to Kansas back in November. They have taken down Gonzaga and Louisville, and started their SEC schedule 2-0 with thumpings of Georgia and Missouri.
And once more, it is forwards Grant Williams and Admiral Schofield who are leading Rick Barnes’s team to greatness.
