Summary:BREAKDOWN: The first rematch of the season pits 10th-ranked UF against the 20th-ranked Commodores, a team that pummeled the Gators 87-77 in their SEC opener Jan. 5. To avoid a similar outcome, Florida must defend the 3-point shot better than it did in Nashville, Tenn., where the Commodores shot 15-for-23 (65 percent). In that game, it was 6-foot-11 forward Dan Langhi (31 points), the SEC's leading scorer at 22 points a game, and reserve guard Sam Howard (22 points, seven-of-eight from the 3-point land) doing the damage. UF forward Mike Miller has averaged 23.5 points in the past two games on 58 percent shooting.
