GU point guard Nigel Williams-Goss (5) is tasked with cracking a stiff defense in facing the Florida Gators in the second round of the AdvoCare Invitational
This will be the biggest test of the season thus far for Gonzaga as Florida received a few votes in the most recent top 25 poll. Ken Pomeroy, who runs the popular college basketball analytics website kenpom.com, has Florida at No. 12 in his rankings, using different statistical methodology in his decisions. For comparison, GU is No. 22.
One of the leading reasons the Gators are ranked so high is because of their tough defense.
