NORMAN, Ok.-- The Florida Gators, back to being ranked after a pair of top 25 wins, are looking to carry its momentum from wins over Georgia and Tennessee into a road trip at Oklahoma, its first matchup at Lloyd Noble Center since the Sooners joined the SEC.

Entering SEC play at 9-4, the Gators lost a nail-biter at Missouri and fell out of the AP Poll for the first time since the 2023-24 season. However, Florida promptly bounced back with big wins at home over a pair of ranked rivals in Georgia, a 15-point win in which Alex Condon, Thomas Haugh and Rueben Chinyelu combined for 52 points, and in Tennessee, a 24-point victory led by a 17-point, 16-rebound double-double from Chinyelu and a season-high 23 points from Boogie Fland.

While Florida travels away from home for the first of back-to-back road games, head coach Todd Golden said the keys to victory do not change despite the venue.

“It’s the same formula for us. It starts with defending and rebounding and take care of the ball," he said after the win over the Volunteers. "We didn’t defend and rebound well enough at Missouri (or) score well enough. We didn’t play great offensively, but we were 1.1 per possessions. We just didn’t guard. We didn’t possessions well enough. We came back and really focused on that. We’ll do that again for Oklahoma. They’re very good offensive team. We’ve got to guard really well.

"We’ve got to rebound and allow our defenses to help our offense. Hopefully we’ll continue to get some makes from the perimeter like we did today. If we do that then we are going to tough the rest of the way.”
