Florida guard Egor Koulechov received a pass at the top of the arc five minutes into the game and drained a three-point shot to tie the score at seven apiece. In the early stages of UF’s 71-54 win against Mississippi State on Wednesday, Koulechov scored the Gators’ first 13 points of the contest.
He finished with a game-high 23 points, 17 of which came in the first half.
“It’s nice to see him playing with confidence,” Florida coach Mike White said.
