    Florida is most recently coming off of a victory over Wofford at the Preseason WNIT.
    Florida vs. Grambling State
    Game Information: Nov. 19 | 6 p.m. ET
    Live Stream:     SEC Network+
    Radio: 98.1 FM/850 AM WRUF

    GAINESVILLE, Fla. – After a long weekend away from home at the Preseason WNIT, Florida women's basketball returns home to square-off with Grambling State on Friday at 6 p.m. ET in Exactech Arena at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center.

    The game will be streamed live on SEC Network+ with Kyle Crooks and Brittany Davis on the call while Tom Collett and Kelly Davis will handle radio responsibilities on 98.1 FM/850 AM WRUF.

    During their last outing, the Gators ended a two-game losing skid with a 61-47 defeat over Wofford in the final game of the Preseason WNIT. Florida held the Terriers to just 33.9% shooting and forced 20 turnovers, including five steals from Kiara Smith. Smith led the offensive effort as well with 13 points.

    During the third quarter of the UF-Wofford game, Florida allowed just four points to the Terriers, their best defensive performance since giving up three points in a quarter to Florida A&M in 2019. The Gators gave up just one field goal through the first nine minutes of the quarter and held Wofford to 12.5% shooting.

    Smith was named to the Preseason WNIT All-Tournament Team for her performances over the weekend. Smith led the Gators in points per game (12.3), assists per game (1.75) and steals per game (1.75). The District Heights, Md., native also moved up to 23rd all-time in points scored at Florida after recording eight points against Towson. She passed Janna Bragg who finished her career with 1,092 points.

    Jordyn Merritt had arguably the best day of her Florida career against Towson. In addition to her second-career double-double, she recorded a career-best 18 points, four triples, four assists and three blocks.

    Junior standout Lavender Briggs is closing in on 1,000 career points in her Florida career. The Provo, Utah native is currently sitting at 830 points, just 170 points away from becoming the 27th member of the club.

    Grambling gets the tip, but turns it over on traveling. Nina misses a 3-pointer. Grambling air balls a reverse lay-up. Turn over. Turn over. Nina with the first points of the game on a lay up.

    We really should have found a coach for this season. Kelly just doesn't have the girls up and ready for anyone. Down 16-15 after 1 to Grambling State. Of course we have 4 players not playing, which makes me wonder what is going on with the 3 that were "coach decisions". We just seem to have no offense if it isn't a fast break layup.

    Shooting is cold - on both sides. Finally Emanuely breaks the logjam with a 3 at 7:35 remaining.

    Grambling sure puts up a fierce defense around the basket. Almost all our shots are outside. 3:35 remaining in Q2, Gators 24-22.

    Grambling might set a new world record for traveling calls in one game. At the half, Gators 31-24.

    Starting Q3: Kiki, Lav, Emanuely, Floor, Nina

    Kristina Moore is down after a hard collision and fall under the basket. They are tending to her left leg. 2 trainers help her off and she’s not putting any weight on it.

    End of Q3 it’s Gators 50-33. Brynn Farrell making the most of her time on the floor with 10 points, and Grambling picks up 10 more traveling calls. Just kidding on the traveling, but it’s been a lot of them!

    Our defense improved and shots started to go down. Grambling looks like they’re running out of gas. They fouled a lot more, and we forced a couple of shot clock violations. We’ll see if they get a second wind in Q4.

    Gators put the full press on and get the 10 second violation. Emanuely with the lay up. Grambling lays up and we do the same. We trade layups again. Gators 58-45 with 4:20 remaining.
