Only two teams — Arizona State in 2008 and LSU in 2004 — have entered the NCAA Indoor Championships with both the men’s and women’s teams ranked No. 1 and won both titles.
In the coming weeks, Florida will go up against No. 12 Georgia, No. 8 Alabama and No. 11 Vanderbilt.
The No. 17 Gators (6-5, 1-1 Southeastern Conference) look to extend their 5-0 home record as they take on two top SEC East opponents this weekend.
In a way, Buddy Alexander is returning home again.
For tonight’s meet, the Gators travel to Columbia, Mo., for the first time since the Tigers joined the Southeastern Conference in 2012.
The Gators’ only home tournament of the season begins Friday morning with No. 16 UF hosting 14 teams at the 42nd annual SunTrust Gator Women’s Golf Invitational.
The Gators erased any doubt they would have to play their fourth straight extra-inning game in a big way Wednesday night.
Beating a team 17-3 in the first half is not winning — it’s complete dominance.
There will be no divers representing the Gators at this year’s swimming and diving NCAA Championships.
The Gators finished their best regular season in school history on Saturday, and on Tuesday, they received the hardware to prove it.
After winning its first Southeastern Conference series against Ole Miss, No. 1 Florida (24-1, 2-1 SEC) will take a break from league play with a home doubleheader against Mercer (17-7, 2-1 Atlantic Sun) starting today at 4 p.m.
No. 4 Florida is moving on up.
Following its best performance of the season two weeks ago at the 2014 Allstate Sugar Bowl Intercollegiate Championship, No. 17 Florida looks to continue its success at its only home tournament of the season.
Day 2 of the NCAA Zone “B” Diving Regional Championships wrapped up with two divers in the finals for the Gators, but neither qualified for the national championships being held later this month.
Several of the Gators’ key offensive veterans have gotten off to slow starts in the 2014 campaign.
As long as No. 1 Florida continues its winning ways, Billy Donovan is going to keep hearing comparisons to his past championship squads.
Although Florida (8-1, 5-1 Southeastern Conference) has achieved the highest score in the nation this year, the Gators fell from No. 2 to No. 3 in the national rankings Monday.
After No. 1 Florida lost its Southeastern Conference opener on Friday against Ole Miss and had its 22-game winning streak snapped, coach Tim Walton wasn’t sure how the team was going to respond.
The most difficult stretch of the spring may be behind them, but the Gators still have their work cut out for them as they prepare for a plethora of Southeastern Conference matchups.
After his women’s squad captured a Southeastern Conference Indoor title and the men’s team finished second, coach Mike Holloway’s track teams will head to the NCAA Indoor Championships on a high note.
