Kiara Smith led the Gators with 25 points, eight rebounds and six assists as Florida picked-up their first four-game winning streak in the SEC for the first time since the 2010-11 season. Defensively, the Orange & Blue held Kentucky to 18-of-66 shooting (27.3%) and 4-of-18 (22.2%) from deep. RAINING THREES KK Deans and Alberte Rimdal have combined for 67 triples this season, the third-most by a duo in the SEC currently, trailing only Marnelle Barraud and Ryanne Allen of Vanderbilt (70) and Chrissy Carr and Samara Spencer of Arkansas (77). KK is closing in on the top-15 for triples made in a single season, needing 15 more to break into the record book. Rimdal is also looking at one of the best seasons for a sophomore, needing 49 total threes to mark the fifth-best output by a sophomore. TO THE LINE Florida women's basketball is elite when it comes to getting to the free throw line, knocking down 16.18 per game which is second in the SEC and 14th in the nation. They average 22.71 attempts per game, sitting at third in the conference and 18th nationally. NET UPDATE After falling to Georgia on on Jan. 8, Florida moved to 83rdin the NET rankings, but currently sit at 81st. All 14 SEC schools sit within the top 138, while South Carolina and LSU sit at first and third, respectively. 60: THE MAGIC NUMBER Under the leadership of Kelly Rae Finley, Florida's defense will always be a point of emphasis. Helping to prove that point, the Gators own a perfect 21-0 mark under Finely when holding opponents to 60 points or less.
Looked like I saw Leilani on the practice court in a social media post. If we can get her back that helps.
And it would be nice to see Jordyn hanging out on the bench too, even if not suited up. I mean that as much for her as for us.
Jordyn and Leilani are both suited up with team. Both warmed up fully as well!! Looking like a W for the Gators!!!
