He scored 10 points on 2 of 12 shots and turned the ball 6 times in 37 minutes on the court. Russell was not much better, shooting 3 of 12 and only scored 11 points.

Donta Scott is Maryland's top rebounder, averaging 7.6 rebounds per game, of which 6 are defensive rebounds. However, he will have to strengthen the game against Florida because the Gators averaged 11.7 offensive rebounds per game.

The Gators have always been one of the best defensive teams in the country, averaging only 59.1 points per game this season. This is largely due to their efforts to create turnovers, as they averaged 10.9 steals per game and forced their opponents to give up 18.2 times per game. Jones and Brandon McKissic averaged 1.8 steals per game this season, leading the Alligators. Castleton is also an excellent defender of the basket, averaging 2.8 blocks per game.
