Last season, Florida’s men’s basketball team sleepwalked through the beginning of SEC play, starting 1-3.
But this time around, the Gators are 2-0 in the league and playing their best basketball of the season. UF is on a three-game winning streak, averaging 95.7 points over that stretch (though one of those games went to double overtime).
After winning the first leg of a two-game road stretch 81-68 against South Carolina on Tuesday night, the Gators travel to another Columbia, this time west of the Mississippi, to take on the Missouri Tigers at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday.
Florida (10-4, 2-0 SEC) is finally finding its footing on the offensive side of the ball.
