UF hoops notes: Defense not new

After putting together game after game in which the Florida defense held opponents’ leading scorers well below their season averages, the No. 2 Gators finally met their match over the weekend when Ole Miss’ Marshall Henderson not only achieved his season average, but surpassed it.

Henderson may have been the Rebels’ only big threat on the night, but his ability to create and hit difficult shots continually kept Ole Miss in the game on Saturday, forcing the Gators to ramp up their own offensive production.

The Gators may have the reputation of a lock-down defensive team, but it’s nice to know that when points are needed, Florida is able to answer the bell.
