The game seemed well in hand.
The UF men’s basketball team likely had plenty on its mind after dropping its sixth-straight game to the Florida State Seminoles on Sunday. It was unlikely that any of it was positive.
Coach Cam Newbauer reached a personal milestone Sunday afternoon, but he didn’t know it until after Florida’s women’s basketball team defeated Longwood 71-54 at the O’Connell Center.
One by one, the basketballs sailed through the air, launching off the fingers of UF shooters from all over the court.
Having Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew in town put the spotlight on Mississippi State on Sunday afternoon as he watched his younger sister Callie from the bleachers.
Yes, the Gators won the game. And yes, the box score looks good.
What a difference a week makes.
It wouldn’t have been much of a consolation. But at least it would have been something.
Utter dominance.
Nothing about Florida’s volleyball team’s match against Ole Miss on Friday night made much sense.
The sweet aroma of fried chicken and hamburgers on the grill fills the air as I walk around campus Saturday morning. It’s here. Football season has arrived.
After a successful fall season, Florida’s men’s and women’s tennis teams will finish their season out west.
The Florida-Florida State rivalry will take on a different look Friday.
After its longest break of the season, the Gators volleyball team will hit the court – for real — for the first time in over a week.
To say that Florida’s women’s basketball team struggled on the road last season is an understatement.
Before every game, Freddie Swain and Josh Hammond trot out to the 50-yard line, flanking David Reese II for the coin toss. After the coin has been flipped, possession decided and hands shaken, either Swain or Hammond will take a spot on the sideline.
Florida-Florida State hasn’t been much of a rivalry on the hardwood lately, and UF coach Mike White is the first to admit that.
Florida’s worst offensive performance of the season came at the most inopportune time this past weekend in Jacksonville. The Gators put up season-low offensive statistics across the box score in their 24-17 loss to Georgia, which dropped them to second place in the SEC East.
