Three-pointers are an emphasis for Florida heading into matchup with Arkansas State

Seven Florida players made three-pointers in UF’s season-opening win over the weekend. Just how coach Cameron Newbauer likes it.

“I don’t know when the last time that is we’ve done that at Florida, but that’s spreading it, sharing it and shooting it,” Newbauer said.

After making 10-of-31 three-pointers in their season opener, the Gators (1-0) can continue their long-range success tonight when they face Arkansas State (0-1) at 7 p.m. in the O’Connell Center.

In the team’s season opener against Georgia State on Saturday, all five starters attempted at least three shots from beyond the arc, with graduate transfer Paulina Hersler converting 3-of-5 attempts from long range.
