The Florida women’s basketball team has faced a brutal start to SEC play, and its conference record continues to deteriorate.
From errant passes resulting in unforced turnovers to poor rebounding leading to second-chance points, it was an all-around ugly performance from UF on Thursday night when it took on Mississippi State.
The No. 4 Bulldogs beat down the Gators 82-49 at the Humphrey Coliseum in Starkville, Mississippi, holding Florida to a season low in scoring.
Backup center Teaira McCowan, towering over defenders at 6-foot-7, torched Florida with 25 points on 12-of-13 shooting. Guard Victoria Vivians also continued a solid junior campaign, tallying 21 points of her own and corralling five rebounds.
