The Florida Gators men’s basketball team’s win on Saturday over the Georgia Bulldogs pushed Florida’s record to 5-0 in conference play after two full weeks of intraconference competition.
And that gives the Gators a shot at going 6-0 in SEC play, something that has happened only very, very rarely — and recently — in program history, as sports information director Denver Parler noted on Twitter on Sunday.
For perspective, the @SEC has been around since 1932 & this is UF's seventh 5-0 start in conference play ever.

All four of those 6-0 starts, by the way, have happened since 2003.
