In coach Billy Donovan’s eyes, the Gators truly played like Gators for the first time this season against Kentucky.
The first half of Sunday afternoon’s game against No. 6 Tennessee looked different from most games the Florida women’s basketball team has played this year.
Florida could be without one of its top scorers for the near future.
For one of the few times this season, the Gators women’s basketball team played with fight when it hosted No. 6 Tennessee on Sunday.
Even though Florida (12-11, 5-5 Southeastern Conference) was on the losing end of a 68-61 showdown against No. 1 Kentucky (23-0, 10-0 SEC), coach Billy Donovan saw his team take a step in the right direction.
The Gators almost did the unthinkable.
ESPN College Gameday’s Seth Greenberg has experience with Florida’s Dorian Finney-Smith. The Gators most consistent scorer was once a member of Greenberg’s Virginia Tech Hokies team, averaging 6.3 points per game starting in 30 of 33 games and earning Atlantic Coast Conference All-Freshman Team honors in 2012.
Following Florida’s 67-61 loss to a Vanderbilt team that had lost seven straight Southeastern Conference games, Michael Frazier II said that the team "didn’t come out with any passion or energy."
Less than three weeks after being arrested for reportedly stealing a teammate’s credit card in November a former UF women’s basketball player was charged by the University Police Department with a second, earlier count.
Facing a Vanderbilt team that had lost seven straight Southeastern Conference games, Florida had an opportunity to capitalize on the Commodores’ woes and earn its third straight victory.
Coach Billy Donovan has watched his team struggle more this season than most of his former squads.
When you’re a player at one of the elite programs in college basketball, everyone’s a critic.
Florida finally got the quality road win it has been searching for.
The development of Chris Walker may take longer than expected, even if the ceiling is higher than most.
The Florida women’s basketball team overcame a slow start to defeat Vanderbilt 67-58 on Sunday in Nashville, Tennessee.
Michael Frazier II just needed to keep shooting.
Florida had a chance to beat a subpar Southeastern Conference opponent on Thursday night.
Prior to Florida’s 52-50 win against Alabama on Tuesday, shooting guard Michael Frazier II said the Gators were desperate for a win.
The Gators sacrificed blood, sweat and tears to scrape out a win against the Alabama Crimson Tide and break a three-game losing streak on Tuesday.
It has taken awhile, but the Gators women’s basketball team is finally figuring out how to get the most out of what it has.
