Gators’ Recent Results
Florida beat Ohio State in dramatic fashion when Tyree Appleby hit a game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer.
The senior guard has been 1-of-9 from the floor before connecting. Appleby is one of five Florida players scoring in double figures as he is averaging 11.2 points and 3.6 assists.
It was the first close call of the season for Florida. The Gators had won their first four games by at least 13 points and an average of 21.3, including victories over Florida State and California.
The other four players with double-figure scoring averages are also seniors – forward Colin Castleton (15.8), guard Myreon Jones (11.8), guard Phlandrous Fleming Jr. (11.0) and forward Anthony Duruji (10.0).
Fleming, a transfer from Charleston Southern, scored a season-high 19 points and made four steals Wednesday.
Castleton finished with 11 points, 13 rebounds and three assists. He is averaging 10.4 boards and 3.0 blocked shots.
Junior forward CJ Felder had his best game since transferring from Boston College as he had 10 points, five rebounds and three steals in 19 minutes off the bench.
Florida turned 18 Ohio State turnovers into 22 points, which helped offset a poor shooting night. The Gators made just 36.7% (22-of-60) of their field goal attempts and 28.6% (4-of-14) of their threes.
Ohio State shot 53.2% (25-of-47) but Florida was still able to rally for the win after trailing 47-37 with 13 minutes remaining.
Troy vs Florida Prediction
The schools have met only one time before, in 2009-10, and Florida won 80-58 in Gainesville. The result should be similar this time as the Gators have impressed so far in the young season against a good schedule.
The Pick: Florida -21.5 (-106)
