Florida improves to 5-3 on the season following a 77-57 victory over Merrimack on Tuesday night. The Gators overcame an early 1-for-15 shooting stretch from the field, falling behind 21-11 before rallying to cut the lead to just one point at halftime. The Gators have won five games under Todd Golden after trailing by double digits.
“It’s a tricky one,” Head Coach Todd Golden said on his halftime message. “We try to be super, super consistent with our effort and our intent regardless of our opponent. I didn’t think we were good enough that way for the first 25 minutes of the game or whatever it was.
