Five takeaways from Florida’s blowout win over Quinnipiac

Florida capped off a perfect December with a 25-point win over Quinnipiac that was never in doubt. SEC play starts in one week.

Florida basketball cruised to a 97-72 win over Quinnipiac on Saturday, closing out the Gators’ first perfect month in 25 months.

The Orange and Blue are doing whatever it takes to win, and tonight that meant leaning on Will Richard once again. The second-year Florida guard played just 20 minutes but led all scorers with 22 points, acting as the catalyst for Florida’s early double-digit lead.

Richard rarely missed from beyond the arc and Zyon Pullin also drained a few threes to push the lead even further. The backups came in with plenty of time left in the second half, but a 25-point win never seemed in doubt.

The Gators are looking pretty good heading into conference play. Here’s what we learned on Saturday.
