West Virginia Bounces Back with 89-71 Win Over Portland State in PK85

During the offseason, Florida hired former San Francisco coach Todd Golden to replace Mike White.

Pair that around with returning two-time All-SEC recipient Colin Castleton and you have a solid core. The Gators were upset last week by Florida Atlantic.
