What to Know

Florida has enjoyed a two-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They and the South Carolina Gamecocks will face off in an SEC battle at 12:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Colonial Life Arena. Both teams come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous matches.

Last Wednesday, the Gators earned a 83-74 win over the Tigers.

Florida got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Tyrese Samuel out in front who dropped a double-double on 28 points and ten rebounds. As a matter of fact, that's the most points Samuel has scored all season. Zyon Pullin was another key contributor, scoring 21 points.

Meanwhile, winning is just a little bit easier when you work as a team to rack up 12 more assists than your opponent, a fact South Carolina proved on Wednesday. Not to be outdone by the Aggies, the Gamecocks got past the Aggies on a last-second layup courtesy of Zachary Davis with 3 seconds left in the second quarter. The win made it back-to-back wins for South Carolina.

Meechie Johnson was the offensive standout of the match as he scored 22 points along with five rebounds. He didn't help South Carolina's cause all that much against the Rebels on Saturday but the same can't be said for this matchup. The team also got some help courtesy of Davis, who scored 16 points.

The Gators' victory was their seventh straight at home, which pushed their record up to 20-8. As for the Gamecocks, their win bumped their record up to 23-5.

Florida is hoping to beat the odds on Saturday, as the experts think they're headed for a loss. They might be worth a quick bet since they're sitting on a five game streak of covering the spread when playing on the road.

Florida took their victory against the Gamecocks when the teams last played back in January of 2023 by a conclusive 81-60. The rematch might be a little tougher for Florida since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
