Tomorrow night’s game vs. Florida is big, and it could come down to a battle of the bigs. Colin Castleton leads Florida in scoring (15.1), rebounding (7.7), blocked shots (68), and free throws made (89). He’s also tied with Trey Bonham for first on the team in steals (21). The 6’11” center was the star of the Gators’ upset of No. 2 Tennessee on Wednesday, finishing with 20 points — 16 in the second half — nine rebounds, and three assists.
Last year, Oscar Tshiebwe got the best of Castleton in Kentucky’s two wins over the Gators, posting a combined 54 points and 33 rebounds to Castleton’s 41 points and 18 rebounds.
