University of Connecticut Men's Basketball Team Finds Familiarity in Florida's Unconventional Roster Coach Hurley has expressed admiration for the University of Florida's basketball team, drawing comparisons to the Husky teams that have dominated the sport in recent years. When Hurley views the Gators, he is reminded of the tenacious and skilled players who have been the backbone of the Husky teams that have won the championship titles in the past two seasons.
Florida's roster is characterized by a mix of seasoned veterans and talented newcomers, with a strong emphasis on depth and athleticism. The team's ability to adapt and overcome adversity has been a key factor in their success, with Hurley praising the roster construction efforts of head coach Todd Golden. The Gators' roster is similar to the one that UConn assembled during its championship runs... with a focus on finding players who complement the existing talent.
In particular, Hurley notes that Florida's perimeter players are well-suited to work together, providing a formidable challenge for opposing teams. The team's big men, Alex Condon and Thomas Hugh, provide a strong foundation, "while Rueben Chinyelu," "a transfer from Washington State.".. has brought a level of rebounding and defensive prowess to the lineup.

"They've got a lot of depth on the perimeter, and they're old. I mean, they've got a lot of great pieces."
