The Florida Gators men’s basketball team endured a brief two-game losing streak that highlighted its biggest flaw. Over the course of its losses to the South Carolina Gamecocks and Vanderbilt Commodores, Florida shot a combined 8-of-42 from 3-point range.
With their backs against the wall, the Gators responded with the greatest shooting performance in program history.
Florida dominated the LSU Tigers with an impressive 102-71 road victory in Baton Rouge. The highlight of the game was Mike White’s crew sinking a school record 19 3-point field goals on 33 attempts.
No player was as much of a pleasant surprise during the 3-point barrage than freshman guard Eric Hester.
