- These are two programs each with a great history, so this game had a bit of a "heavyweight fight" feel. It certainly has lived up to that, as we've seen 11 lead changes and 4 ties so far in the first half
- About midway through the half, Joshua Smith was assessed a Flagrant 1 for an inadvertent elbow to the face of Jon Horford. Horford later returned with five minutes left in the half with a large bandage on his face.
- For the Hoyas, it's been a team effort thus far with D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera leading the charge. DSR has six points on 3-5 shooting.
- For the Gators it's been all Michael Frazier. The junior guard has 10 on 3-6 shooting. He's also done a good job getting to the line, but not such a great job when shooting his free throws, as he's 2-4.
