GAINESVILLE — Coach Todd Golden’s suddenly unranked Gators were desperate for a win.
Avoiding a loss to former coach Mike White’s No. 18 Georgia Bulldogs was critical for a Florida team riding a 13-game winning streak at the O’Connell Center and 0-1 in SEC play.
The Gators found their offensive flow and applied the defensive clamps against the high-scoring Bulldogs during a convincing 92-77 win Tuesday night at the O’Connell Center.
Coming off an SEC-opening loss at Missouri and with more losses than the 2025 national title team, Florida (10-5, 1-1 SEC) faced a new challenge from White’s Bulldogs (13-2, 1-1 SEC).
