GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- After four "challenging" days, Florida men's basketball coach Todd Golden welcomed the reception he got when he took the court Monday night.
Golden received a rousing ovation, one of the loudest of the night, during pregame introductions before the 20th-ranked Gators beat Grambling State 86-62.
"I thought it was great," Golden said. "I thought [fans] were as usual, and obviously during the current circumstances, I appreciate it."
It was Golden's first public appearance since he acknowledged an ongoing school inquiry into sexual harassment and stalking allegations.
