| |  | FLORIDA: The Gators have the talent and experience to win the SEC with three returning starters from a squad that made last year's Elite Eight and were four points shy of making the Final Four. Billy Donovan's teams are always fun to watch and led the nation last season with 9.6 threes per game. Even though Bradley Beal isn't back, leading scorer Kenny Boynton (15.9 PPG, 3.0 threes per game, 41% 3-pt FG) is and he should only thrive with more touches. Where the Gators become really dangerous though is in the frontcourt, a crew that can stretch any defense. Now-senior Erik Murphy (10.5 PPG, 4.5 RPG) made 1.7 threes per game last season on a 42.1% clip, making it difficult for any team to defend the 6-foot-10 athlete. Fellow big man Patric Young (10.2 PPG, 6.4 RPG) is more of a traditional post player at 6-foot-9, but makes the most of his chances down low making 61.8% of his field goals last year. He should be ready to become a dominant big as a junior, helping take this team to a conference crown. And the team even receives a solid reinforcement in the form of 6-foot-1 point guard Braxton Ogbueze, who should provide quality minutes and distribute the ball effectively. | | AUBURN: The Tigers finished below .500 last year but undoubtedly took a step forward (four-win improvement) and finally have a glimmer of hope. In his third season, head coach Tony Barbee brings in two top recruits who should make an immediate impact in the SEC. Shooting guard Jordan Price has the physical tools to become a star at 6-foot-5 while small forward Shaquille Johnson is among the best pure athletes in the freshman class. And with last year's leading scorer Frankie Sullivan (12.6 PPG, 3.9 RPG) back in the fold, this team should be able to remain competitive in most conference games and not be completely embarrassed by the SEC elite. |

*Florida-Auburn Preview* ========================
By NICOLINO DIBENEDETTO STATS Writer
Florida (20-3) at Auburn (9-15), 1:30 p.m. EDT
Florida isn't finding very much resistance in the SEC this season, and that's certainly been the case for nearly 13 years when facing Auburn.
The seventh-ranked Gators will try to avoid overlooking the lowly Tigers and further pad their lead atop the conference Saturday.
Florida (20-3, 10-1) is outscoring SEC foes by an average of 22.1 points while hitting 50.4 percent from the floor and 41.0 from 3-point range. Those staggering numbers are why the Gators lead the conference with a two-game cushion on No. 25 Kentucky and Alabama.
They flexed their muscles again Tuesday, thumping the Wildcats 69-52 at home.
Florida is playing the next two games on the road, where it's 6-3 and suffered it's only conference defeat - 80-69 to Arkansas on Feb. 5.
The Gators host the Razorbacks next Saturday after a two-game trip that includes visits to Auburn (9-15, 3-8) and Missouri.
It would seem a meeting with Auburn should keep Florida rolling since it's won 14 of the past 15 overall matchups, and 13 in a row during the regular season.
The Gators ran their road winning streak in the series to six games on Jan. 20, 2011, edging the Tigers 45-40 despite shooting 28.3 percent from the field.
That's probably unlikely to happen again since Florida is making a conference-high 49.3 percent from the field on the season, and is coming off a 6-for-14 effort from long range against Kentucky.
Kenny Boynton, the team leader with 12.9 points per game, scored 20 in a 63-47 victory over Auburn in the only matchup last season on Feb. 21. The senior guard is averaging 15.8 points while connecting on 21 of 44 from behind the arc over the past six road games.
Another strong performance from center Patric Young may be key with forward Will Yeguete out for a third consecutive game recovering from knee surgery. Young got his sixth double-double of the season Tuesday, pouring in 12 points and grabbing 11 boards while adding four blocks.
"When he gives incredible effort and plays with a really good motor, he's capable of getting double-doubles every night," coach Billy Donovan said.
Casey Prather is giving Florida some production off the bench, scoring 12 points in each of the last two games while making 11 of 17 from the field. That's a welcome sight for the Gators after the junior swingman missed the first five games with a pair of concussions and three more later in the season due to an ankle injury.
"It's so exciting to see him do what he's doing," Yeguete told the team's official website. "That's Casey. He can bring so much energy and fire to the court. He's making shots, he's taking charges, taking care of the ball, and above all else just playing with confidence."
The same can't be said of Auburn, which has lost eight of nine after winning six of the previous eight.
"We don't have anything to lose so everybody just has to go in and fight," guard Chris Denson said.
That didn't seem to happen Wednesday, when the Tigers fell 83-75 at home to Arkansas.
"We had 16 turnovers and not one of them was against the press. That tells you all you need to know," coach Tony Barbee said. "We had 10 between two seniors. That tells you all you need to know."
Denson was one of the few bright spots Wednesday, getting 18 points and five assists after scoring 15 in a 72-62 loss at Kentucky four days prior.
