We did it! The Florida Gators took charge and won a must-win game at home against the No. 17 ranked Tennessee Volunteers by a final score of 75-62. I believe the Gators were No. 51 in the RPI before this game, but should rocket into the 40s after last night’s performance. Florida is now 20-8 overall (9-4 SEC), making it their twelfth straight 20-win season. If they can just win one more game they should be Tournament bound.

The Florida Gators were leading almost the entire game, but were clearly outplayed in the second half by South Carolina and ultimately lost to the Gamecocks last night by a final score of 71-77. We kept hearing about how great Devan Downey is all week and he didn’t disappoint last night. He torched the Gators for 24 points and nabbed 4 steals. The Gators now fall to 17-7 overall and 6-4 in the SEC.

Do you want to know if the Florida Gators men’s basketball team is for real? Afterall, they’ve won four straight SEC games and have a 15-5 overall record. Well, the Gators will get a true test on Sunday when they travel to Knoxville for a game against Bruce Pearl’s Volunteers. Tennessee has won 10 of the last 13 meetings and is riding a five game streak over the Gators heading into Sunday. Yes, this will be a tough test.

After starting out SEC play 0-2, the Florida Gators men’s basketball team has come back to life with 4 straight SEC wins – moving them into 4th place in the SEC behind only Vanderbilt, Kentucky and Mississippi State. The Gators defeated the Georgia Bulldogs last night in Gainesville by a final score of 87-71. The Gators (15-5) still aren’t ranked in the Top 25, but a win over #14 Tennessee this weekend will probably fix that.

The Florida Gators extended their win streak to 3 games this weekend when they notched a 58-56 victory over the South Carolina Gamecocks. The Gators are now 14-5 overall and 3-2 in conference play. This game vs. the Gamecocks was yet again another nail biter for the Gators. Down by 1 point with 5 seconds left on the clock, Erving Walker drove the lane and dished out to Chandler Parsons, who hit a game winning 3 pointer as time expired. It was amazing!
