The Florida Gators (9-4) have rattled off three straight SEC wins including an upset over No. 6 Tennessee. However, they will perhaps face their toughest test yet in taking on No. 11 West Virginia (11-4) on the road in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge.
While the Mountaineers carry three conference losses into Saturday’s matchup, two of the three were to top-5 teams. Since their most recent loss to No. 4 Texas, they had three games postponed for COVID-19 issues. And then on Monday, West Virginia guard, Miles McBride stole a game from No. 10 Texas Tech on a last-second game-winner, sealing a 88-87 victory for the Mountaineers.
