What to Know

Florida was fully in charge on Monday, breezing past the Stony Brook Seawolves 81-45 at home. The Gators' Will Richard filled up the stat sheet, picking up 14 points.

Meanwhile, Kennesaw State took their game at home on Monday with ease, bagging a 99-56 win over the LaGrange Panthers.

Florida is the favorite in this one, with an expected 19.5-point margin of victory. Those taking them against the spread are banking on an outcome similar to that of the team's contest on Monday, where they covered a 26.5-point spread.

The wins brought both teams up to an identical 1-0. A couple last-season stats to keep an eye on: Florida ranks 18th in college basketball when it comes to points allowed per game, with only 66.5 on average.
