#2 Florida Gators Previous ranking: 2 Nov. 3 vs. Arizona in Las Vegas It's hard to pass up the season opener for the reigning national champs. There will be some growing pains for the Gators, who are bringing in a new backcourt in transfers Boogie Fland and Xaivian Lee. But the Wildcats should pose a good test, as they are going to be even more of a work-in-progress: likely starting two freshmen in five-star recruits Brayden Burries and Koa Peat. Projected starting lineup Boogie Fland (13.5 PPG at Arkansas) Xaivian Lee (16.9 PPG at Princeton Tigers) Thomas Haugh (9.8 PPG) Alex Condon (10.6 PPG) Rueben Chinyelu (6.1 PPG)
