Florida’s women’s basketball team has struggled this season against top opponents. Through six matchups against ranked teams this year, the Gators have lost them all, and that includes their last four contests. Fortunately for coach Cam Newbauer’s squad, its next game comes against unranked LSU on Thursday at the O’Connell Center. For this game, UF will continue to rely on its young players.

Florida leads the conference in total minutes played (2,644) by underclassmen.

All of the main contributors for this team, other than guard Kiara Smith and forward Zada Williams, are underclassmen.
