Florida -9.5 @ Tex A&M on Thurs and then back home vs Missouri on Saturday.
Mike Rosario (Ankle Injury) Will Play
Erik Murphy (Broken Rib) Injured Jan 6 and has played the last 2 games without much droppage in playing time.
Wil Yeguete (Tendonitis) Mainly swelling and hasn't missed playing time.
Casey Prather (High Ankle Sprain) Out 10-14 days.
Scottie Wilbekin (Broken Finger) Hasn't missed time, injury almost a month old.
Tex A&M coming off a HUGE win vs Kentucky. Let down game? Don't expect Turner to score 40 again. In fact, he may be held in check by a scrappy Wilbekin who should get the assignment in what should be a very physical game between two good defenses. If I were to guess, I'd say he'll get perhaps 10. A&M will look to continue their rebounding dominance and possibly dictate the pace of the game. Will they continue their continued defensive pressure or will they lag a little due to a banged up team that will depend more on their freshmen bench more than normal? Keep in mind, Florida used a 6 man rotation vs LSU without Rosario. Prather getting hurt last game and Rosario coming back for his 1st game since the injury. Expect another 6-man rotation. Home crowd will be jacked up. Florida should eke out a win but doubt they cover. Florida 59-53. I like the home dogs small here.
I am more interested in the game vs Missouri. Look ahead for that quick turn around with a Thurs/Sat schedule with a slightly banged up squad coming off a physical draining game on the road vs a scrappy A&M team. Missouri will look to push the pace as they normally do and make Florida go up and down the court and attempt to dictate the pace. Take Missouri + pts on Saturday, Large.
