Florida Vs. Ohio State: Which Gators Basketball Player Is Most Important Tonight?

This is a serious question, one I want an answer to, because I don't really know: Which Florida basketball player is most important, in your mind, in the Gators' road showdown with Ohio State tonight?
Is it Patric Young, tasked with handling the Buckeyes' beast in the middle, Jared Sullinger? Is it Erving Walker, who could pester Aaron Craft? Is it Kenny Boynton, who will have to play tough perimeter defense against a variety of players? Maybe Brad Beal, who might be counted on for 15-20 points against a defense that may be the best he's ever seen?Is it Mike Rosario, who will need to be a force off the bench and possibly handle the ball? Is it Erik Murphy, who could be some sort of unsung hero if he can hit a couple of big threes? Someone else?
I really and honestly don't know, and though I'm going to answer Beal in this poll and probably write more about it this afternoon, I suspect I'm not in the majority on this one.

I think any of the guards, or all of them, could shoot lights out
and Florida will still lose if Young can’t slow down Sullinger.

Patric Young
He must be able to contain the monster (a.k.a. Jared Sullinger) for Florida to have any chance of winning tonight.
Listen to them, the children of the night. What sweet music they make.
Young must be able to avoid foul trouble
Florida is too thin where big bodies are needed and he is by and away the one who will be counted on most to keep Sulinger and the buckeyes off the boards, which may be the key to the game. Holding Ohio state to minimal second chance points.
Perfect (pur-fec-t): the only person on earth, besides Tim Tebow, in the 21st century to be without fault is gatorhippy.
So excited
What channel is it on? ESPN?
I said Young, duh.

You know, now that I think about it. When I was asking y’all about Scottie Wilbekin (if y’all even remember), I may have, just a little, been confused with Will Yeguete.
I don’t really think I would do that, because isn’t Wilbekin the one who wears the sweatband on his wrist, while knowing full well said sweatband is four sizes too big?

I remember that argument we had about it. You are slowly seeing the light FlaGators….Wilbekin!!!!!!!!!!

It depends if Wilbekin wears those sweatbands on his arm or not.

Looking for the games broadcast I found this quote
The results mirrored what coach Billy Donovan said he had seen on the practice court. The point guard is Walker, whose 372 shots from the field trailed only Boynton last season. But Donovan said Walker had become more of a pass-first point man in practice.
Seems like something all of us have been saying forever now. Hard to imagine Walker actually becoming a great passer, but if he wants any shot in the NBA, this is his chance to prove that he can play PG. He sure isn’t going to be a SG in the NBA.

oh happy day
if this be true then Florida is destined to win more than last year.

No way I can even guess who wins, especially not the score.
I am looking forward to seeing the guards, most specifically Beal and Rosario.

Walker
Can’t be selfish for Gators to win, didn’t get to watch Game !. How often did he get the ball?
In All Kinds Of Weather...
I hope he doesn’t do that anymore.

He was very deferential in game 1.

Definitely Big Pat
But almost as important will be whether anybody else on our team can have a solid inside presence. Young can’t be our only productive big man.
In all kinds of weather we'll all stick together
