Florida Gators vs. Florida State Seminoles Key Stats

Florida State has been relying on guards Darin Green Jr., Cam'Ron Fletcher, and Caleb Mills when it comes to putting the ball in the basket. These three are combining for over half of the team's points, and Green Jr., who spent the last three years at UCF, is up at 16.3 per game on an impressive 54.5% from three. As a team, the Seminoles are shooting an excellent 40.4% from deep, but their 13.7 turnovers per game is definitely an area they can improve. Florida State is not only 0-3, but they've been favored in all of their games, and looking at Monday's contest, they were massive 17-point favorites. Maybe the fact that this is a rivalry game can help jumpstart this struggling Seminoles squad.

Florida was favored by 12 last game, and they ended up losing the game in the final minute. Still, the Gators have looked solid overall, and senior Colin Castelton currently ranks fourth in the entire nation with 25.3 points per game. His 8.7 rebounds aren't too shabby either, and it looks like he's improved off what was a tremendous junior year last season, where he posted averages of 16.2 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks. Castleton, along with a solid supporting cast of Kyle Lofton, Will Richard, and Kowacie Reeves, will look to handle their rival Florida foes.

Florida Gators vs. Florida State Seminoles Betting Prediction

The Seminoles have lost and failed to cover all three games this year, while Florida has covered just one of their three games. Last year, Florida won 71-55, but prior to that game, Florida State had covered eight straight. As bad as the Seminoles have been, look for them to ride their home crowd and have a bounce-back performance tonight. Take the Seminoles here to at least cover in what should be an entertaining affair tonight.
