Anything less Saturday at No. 11 West Virginia is unlikely to be enough for the Gators to extend their three-game winning streak and capture their second top-25 win this month.
To that end, coach White hopes his players learned from a late-game swoon Tuesday against Vanderbilt. UF watched his team squander a 22-point lead during the final 10 minutes of an eventual 78-71 win against the hapless Commodores — 3-21 in SEC play the past two seasons.
“To give up more in the last 10 minutes than we gave up in the first 30 kind of speaks to our mentality,” White said Friday.
