Summers’ comes in as one of the most improved players in the SEC. He ranks eighth in the league in scoring with 17.0 points per game.
Florida (24-2, 13-0 SEC) knocked off Auburn 71-66 on Wednesday night. Casey Prather leads the Gators in scoring this season, averaging 15.7 points per game. Teammate Scottie Wilbekin is a close second with 13.6 points each game.
The 13-0 start in conference play for Florida is the best start ever for them.
Saturday’s game will be the 105th meeting between the two teams, which the Gators hold a 61-43 lead. However, in Oxford, Ole Miss holds a 28-21 advantage. A win would give the Rebels their biggest victory over a high-ranked opponent this season.
