Deandre Burnett’s injury during the Georgia game last week dug an insurmountable hole against the Bulldogs that night, to the point that this season’s Basketbears suffered one of the most embarrassing losses in program history at home. Now the Rebel hoopmen travel to Columbia, S.C. to face the conference’s best defensive club not wearing FLORIDA jerseys.
Burnett was of course averaging around 19 points per game, good for the third-best scoring average in the conference. He didn’t connect all that much against Georgia though, on the whole during game play, still somehow gaining the majority of his points from the free throw line.
