The Florida Gators, who are 5-4 in SEC play and have their trademark victory over the Kentucky Wildcats in Rupp Arena, will present a formidable opponent for Auburn.

Gainesville is a difficult venue to play in, and Auburn hasn’t performed well there in a very long time.

Although Florida leads the nation in scoring (84.9 points per game on average), their ability to pull down offensive rebounds is what really sets them apart as a team. With 16.05 offensive rebounds per game, the Gators are second in the NCAA basketball standings, only behind Texas A&M. Jaylin Williams and Johni Broome must make sure to keep these tough Gators off the glass. Even the guards will receive coaching from Coach Pearl on how to box out and crash the boards. Everyone on the floor must attempt to grab boards in this game.

Following the victory over Alabama, Williams said the following regarding Tre Donaldson, Williams added, “Tre is a very patient guard.” “He won’t attempt to take on too much. He will attempt to move to the spot if he notices something, and if you try to play him too often, he will become more hostile. He constantly strives to ensure that everyone is in the proper positions and executing the appropriate plays. The small things are what really count. Donaldson will play a key role in this match as Auburn must manage the basketball in a fast-paced setting.
