No.24 Florida improved to 20-8 (10-5 SEC) in the 2023-24 season following an 83-74 victory over the Missouri Tigers on Wednesday night. Tyrese Samuel’s career-high 28 points led the Gators, while fellow grad student Zyon Pullin added 21. The duo combined to score 23 of Florida’s final 25 points down the stretch to seal the win.
Florida posted its first 20-win regular season since 2017-18 when the Gators were 20-11 heading into postseason play. It also marks the first season since 2016-17 that UF has notched its 20th win before February closes.
