Florida Starts Season With Win Over Elon

Florida’s basketball season officially began on Tuesday with the Gators coming out strong with a 74-61 win over the Elon Phoenix. The final score didn’t tell the whole story of the game, as Florida led by as much as 28 points in the second half but began to cycle through their bench in the final 12 minutes allowing the Phoenix to slowly make up for some of the deficit. Florida jumped out quickly in this one leading to a 47-24 lead at half and never looked back, taking care of business on their home floor in front of eager Gator fans.
