Biggest win in the Todd Golden era
Todd Golden had not beaten a ranked team on the road in his two seasons as Head Coach of the Florida Gators, until Wednesday night. Prior to the matchup, Florida was on the outside looking in regarding the NCAA Tournament, according to Joe Lunardi’s most recent bracketology prediction.
