Florida Maintains Top Spot in USA Today Men's College Basketball Poll The Florida Gators have solidified their position at No. 5 in the recent USA Today men's college basketball poll. The undefeated team secured their non-conference schedule record with a 13-0 mark after defeating Stetson 85-45 in their latest game.
This win came after the team posted a season-high 12 steals and blocked 7 shots. According to Florida basketball coach Todd Golden, the team's defensive performance has been impressive. "We've continued to play better defensively," Golden stated. "Our effort and our energy have been really good. We've been disruptive.
These last few games, we've had a lot of opportunities to switch in ball screens, and our bigs have done a good job keeping guys in front." Florida's current unbeaten streak is its best start to a season since the 2005-06 campaign... when they began with a 17-0 record. Throughout their 13 non-conference wins, the Gators have secured victories over power four opponents, including Florida State, Wake Forest, Virginia, Arizona State, "and North Carolina." The team will begin their conference play on Saturday with a matchup against No. 11 Kentucky, "followed by a highly anticipated showdown with No." 1 Tennessee in their SEC home opener on January 7. With the Tennessee game already announced as a sellout... fans are in for a thrilling matchup.
