Stetson played #1 ranked Florida pretty tough in a recent exhibition game. The final score was 85-68. Afterwards, Gator coach Golden said this of Stetson: "First of all, I thought, you know, credit to Stetson. I thought they are, they’re a fun team, man, and I thought their point guard play was really good. Sucatzky did a really good job of just playing in that middle pick-and-roll, and, you know, keeping us in jail, made some really tough twos in the 1st half, he was 6-for-6 for 2 in the first half on us. And, you know, bothered us for a lot of the night, and then, you know, obviously, hat tip to Doyle, came out and just, you know, did a really good job shooting the basketball. Quick release, quick trigger, and, you know, we didn’t do a good enough job taking him off his spots and making him drive and turn him into a two-point shooter. So, you know, those two guys I thought, really stuck out and allowed them to stay in the game. Kuhl is a good player. I thought ours bigs did a good job making it hard for him to finish. Not a super efficient night for him, but you can tell he’s a good player, and I think that team’s gonna have a really good year, especially in their league. I can’t imagine too many teams have that many playmakers and they have real size, you know, to Coach Jones’ credit. They’ve recruited well and did a really good job putting that roster together. The Kent State transfer (Magnus Entenmann) didn’t play great tonight, but he was 6-for-6 from three and had 28 points against FAU in their last exhibition. So they have some guys that can number and play well."
Clemson coach Brownell recently said this of his team: "We have been battling some injuries this summer. So we're probably a little bit behind schedule ..."
