As the University of Florida Gators return home to the O'Connell Center, they look to maintain their perfect record against in-state rival Florida A&M on Tuesday night. Coming off a convincing win against Florida State, the Gators have solidified their spot at number 19 in the USA Today coaches poll. Florida's impressive start to the season has seen them win all four of their games, with their most recent victory over Grambling State cementing their strong position.
Under the guidance of head coach Todd Golden, the team has created a formidable reputation, boasting a 13-0 all-time record against the Rattlers. Golden, who has been at the helm of the team for three seasons, has led them to a 44-29 overall record. The Gators' recent win against Florida State was highlighted by a season-high 10 three-pointers, courtesy of senior point guard Walter Clayton Jr.'s impressive performance.
Clayton... who averages 18. 8 points and 4. 0 assists per game, attributed the team's success in the contest to their big men's ability to score in the paint, which creates opportunities for their guards to capitalize on open shots. Florida's ---se has been well-rounded, with multiple players averaging double figures in scoring.
Alongside Clayton, guards Will Richard and Alijah Martin, as well as forward Alex Condon, have all been consistent scorers for the Gators this season. The game against Florida A&M will be broadcast on SEC Network Plus and stream on WatchESPN. com... with Kyle Crooks handling play-by-play duties and Mark Wise and Patric Young, a former Gator great, serving as color analysts.
According to the Gainesville Sun, Florida's focus on ---se has been a key factor in their success, "with their guards playing a pivotal role in their victories." As the Gators look to continue their winning streak, "they will aim to maintain their dominant performance and emerge victorious against the Rattlers."

Coming off a win at rival Florida State, Florida basketball returns home to face Florida A&M on Tuesday night at the O'Connell Center. The Florida Gators (4-0) stayed at No. 19 in the USA Today coaches poll on Monday following wins last week over FSU and Grambling State.
