GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) Florida's increased speed has come with increased sloppiness.

The Gators are on pace to finish with the program's worst assist-to-turnover ratio in more than two decades, an unintended consequence of playing fast and trying to create easy baskets in transition.

Coach Mike White warned everyone within earshot, especially his players, about the perils of pace heading into the season. A former college point guard, White knew that speeding up the offense could create errant passes, charges and maybe even a few awkward alley-oops. Throw in three program pauses this season, including two because of COVID-19 positives and protocols, and it's been even tougher for White's guys to find their footing while trying to go full speed.
