OKLAHOMA CITY --- Al McGuire’s philosophy was cut the head off the snake. Translated from Al-speak into regular English, it means don’t let the best player on the other team beat you. Florida’s dilemma, heading into the first round of the NCAA West Regional is Jimmer Fredette, who has scored 75 points in his last two games and is averaging 21.7 points per game on the season. Do the Gators concentrate all their efforts to cut the head off the Brigham Young snake, or do they figure that Fredette is going to get his, so make sure the role players don’t blow up and turn the Ford Center into their own personal shooting gallery.
