Before tipoff on Tuesday night, coach Billy Donovan said he knew Tennessee would not shoot 26.8 percent like it did last time it faced No. 3 Florida. Seniors Scottie Wilbekin and Will Yeguete joined in to say there was no way Jordan McRae would have another 1-of-15 shooting night.
With about one month left until the NCAA Tournament kicks off, No. 3 Florida is 21-2 — its second-best start in program history — and leads the Southeastern Conference with a 10-0 league record. The Gators are on a 15-game winning streak and have won their conference games by an average margin of 14.2 points.

For the second time this season, Arkansas is going to face a streaking Florida team.
The big story leading into Tuesday night was Chris Walker’s much-awaited debut, but Gators fans got only a small dose of the freshman forward during No. 3 Florida’s 68-58 win against Missouri in the O’Connell Center.
In the 52 days since Chris Walker was admitted to Florida, he has been his own entity — isolated from the team and helpless to do anything about it.
In the early stages of the season, the new, fluid offense was supposed to be Florida’s strong point.
Successful rebounding was ubiquitous in Florida’s 81-60 win at Ole Miss on Sunday.
