Florida to be without key forward vs. South Carolina, per report
Florida is going for its fifth win in its last 6 games on Wednesday night against South Carolina, but the Gators will have to win without talented forward Alex Fudge.
Per college basketball insider Jon Rothstein, Fudge will miss Wednesday’s game against the struggling Gamecocks.
The reason cited by Rothstein is a head injury for Fudge, who transferred from LSU to Florida prior to this season:
Florida's Alex Fudge (head) is OUT for tonight's game against South Carolina, per a school spokesman. Averages 7.5 PPG and 5.1 RPG. Gators have won four of their last five games.

Wednesday night’s SEC matchup in Gainesville is set to tip off at 7 p.m. Eastern time and can be seen on ESPN2.
Doesn’t make no difference, we gome win anyhow.
Fudgeaboutit!
Didn’t matter in the least. Gators looked good in that second half.
At least we have bball for the moment. Golden doing relatively better in his year 1 than football. Next 4 after usc is murderer’s row and will dictate if uf goes to the dance

Not an easy stretch but a great opportunity to see us against some of the best teams in the country. Lookin got see how much better we play than we did earlier in the season when we played Xavier and UConn. Gators are sharing the ball as well as any Gator team since the 04’s.
Yes much better.
Of note: the transfer, Myreon Jones from Penn State who I never actually saw make a shot that past year, is playing well now. He was known as a shooter, but it didn’t translate for some reason. He and Reeves are knocking down shots, which opens up the floor for Big Castleon to get busy.
To’dja.
Nice win fellas…
Playing very well defensively and the spacing and ball movement is much better.
Man…some Gators here had Golden all figured out as a bust after 1/5 of the season, which is par for the course for some of our fanbase. Other said….”hey, let’s actually wait and see.”
Nothing to see here, those are the same fools that want Napier gone
Just happy mike white resides in Athens
That dude returns to mean like no other. But you got to give UGA credit…better than Creamedmypants.
