The Florida Gators men’s basketball team suffered their worst performance of the season in Knoxville, losing 64-44 to No.8 Tennessee last Saturday. Florida’s 44 points was a season low, having averaged 85 points per game and scoring 70+ in every contest prior to the Vols.
As one can imagine, the vibe in the locker room postgame wasn’t very cheerful. Sophomore Thomas Haugh and the Gators leaned on the veteran leadership of Florida’s front court after a frustrating loss to Tennessee.
“We were definitely a little down on ourselves, but a lot of our leaders, Will [Richard], Walt [Clayton], and Alijah [Martin] all just said, ‘we’re good, we didn’t hit anything today, we couldn’t shoot, we didn’t get to our principles’, and stuff like that.
