No. 1 Texas' Offensive Woes Continue, Drop Opener to Florida 8-2: Live Game Log

The No. 1 Texas Longhorns (39-8, 19-5) are back in action for another round of SEC play, as they welcome the Florida Gators (33-17, 11-13) to Austin for their final conference series of the season.

While both teams obviously want to win this series, the factor of how important it is for each team to win is drastically different. Texas enters the weekend atop the SEC standings and with a likely regional host bid all but locked up, barring something unforeseen happening over the next three weekends.

However, they definitely want to get back in the SEC win column after suffering a rough sweep at the hands of the Arkansas Razorbacks. As for the Gators, they find themselves more than likely in the Field of 64 for the NCAA Tournament, but with little margin for error. Stacking up wins, especially over a team of Texas' caliber, would be a big boost for them.
