On Saturday, Todd Golden got his first SEC win against Florida’s biggest rivals, the Georgia Bulldogs, led by the head coach he replace in Gainesville.
On Tuesday night, he got his first true road win. And it came in hostile territory.
Pretty sweet four-day stretch for the first-year Florida basketball coach after his team stumbled through the start of conference play.
In a game with offensive issues, Florida won with defense and free throws, handling the LSU Tigers, 67-56, inside the Pete Maravich Assembly Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Once again, it was Florida playing an excellent second half. The Gators are now 9-7 and 2-2 in the SEC.
