Social media lit up after Florida’s season opener, but the noise says more about overreaction than it does about the Gators themselves.
It took only one game for the reactions to take over social media. The Florida Gators opened their 2025 season against #13 Arizona, which they lost to 93-87. Their performance was mixed, with strong stretches and some rough edges, yet the response online made it sound like the Gators were blown out.
Some segments of social media made it sound like the sky was falling, but as Florida Basketball Hour points out, the Gators had a wide-open three in the final minute to tie the game despite the poor play elsewhere.
