    No. 21 after a successful season start against USF on neutral ground florida basketball He returns to Gainesville for his home opener against Jacksonville on Thursday night.

    Florida Alligators (1-0) rallied from a 13-point deficit in the first half to defeat USF 98-83 on Monday night at VyStar Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena. Senior quarterback Walter Clayton Jr. He scored 29 points to lead UF to a comeback win, while senior guard Will Richard added 25 points. Florida went 27-for-33 from the free throw line, overcoming a 20% shooting night (5-25) from 3-point range.

    “Credit to our guys for being more aggressive, going downhill and getting to the basket in the second half,” Florida basketball coach Todd Golden said. “And of course we shot well from two points, but we got to the line 29 times in the second half and were subjected to relentless rim pressure.”

    Jacksonville (1-0) started its season with a 78-65 win over Trinity Baptist College behind a double-double from junior forward Stephon Payne III (19 points, 13 rebounds). The Dolphins are coached by Jordan Mincy, a former assistant coach at Florida under Mike White from 2015-21.

    “Seeing him work from LA Tech to here to Jacksonville, I think he did a really good job,” Golden said. “I think he’s doing a really good job recruiting; they’ve got a good roster for a low-major program. He can always find some pretty good, tight scoring guards, and obviously he comes from a good pedigree. I’m sure he’ll be excited to come here and do his best.”

    Florida plans to continue its high level of play at the O’Connell Center. crocodiles We went 14-1 last season.

    “Our program is really excited to get back to playing in front of home fans,” Golden said. “We feel like we had a big boost at home in the back half of last year, we only lost one game all year and we played very, very well there for the most part.”

    Florida has won 33 consecutive home openers, with its last home opener loss coming to Texas on November 27, 1990.
