Florida head coach Billy Donovan said Thursday that Casey Prather still wasn’t comfortable after returning from a high ankle sprain. He was timid in practice and tentative with the ball instead of the aggressive player that was creating a role for himself before the injury.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. Gators coach Billy Donovan wasn't sure what to expect on Saturday in Florida's first game without junior forward Will Yeguete, who underwent knee surgery Friday and is expected to be lost for the rest of the regular season.

The Gators went through their final extended scrimmage of the preseason on Sunday night.

Five pitchers still competing for important roles in the starting rotation and the bullpen were on the mound Sunday.
Florida head coach Billy Donovan was hoping it would go this way. He removed point guard Scottie Wilbekin from the starting lineup on Saturday because he didn’t like where the junior’s head was. It served as an opportunity to refocus. Wilbekin has always been a player that takes the court with a chip on his shoulder. After a down performance at Arkansas, he didn’t have that chip anymore.
