The Florida basketball team wrapped the 2023 calendar year with a six-game win streak and all seemed right in Gainesville. Now the team looks like it’s on the verge of a catastrophic collapse.
Florida’s defense fell apart on Wednesday night, giving up its early lead over the Ole Miss Rebels in the first half and failing to find a way to make the game competitive in the final minutes. The Rebels broke into triple-digits, trampling the Gators, 103-85.
Head coach Todd Golden and Co. traveled to Oxford, Mississippi, for the first road game of 2024, in hopes of gaining redemption following a home loss to the conference rival Kentucky Wildcats. The Gators failed to do so and looked abysmal at key points of the game
The free throw shooting is still lackluster, the turnovers are as killer as ever and Ole Miss is just an example of how the Gators will be outsized for most of the season.
