The young UF frontcourt showed flashes of its potential against Auburn on Wednesday. Saturday, the Gators will be face to face with talent realized.

Walter Hodge's haircuts have gone through almost as many ups and downs as the UF basketball team this season.
Coming into the season, he was a receiver with nine catches and no touchdowns to his name.
MIAMI - It's funny to think that a player who committed two turnovers served as a stabilizing influence on the winning team.
MIAMI - It has become the Gators' signature play.
MIAMI - Titletown is alive and well again.
