The trend continued in an intense battle against Michigan Wolverines where they scored 106 points and secured victory after two overtimes.

However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for the Gators; they faced some challenges during their encounter with East Carolina Pirates. While they won with a score of 70-65, turnovers were an issue as they recorded 18 compared to just 12 by the Pirates. Their three-point shooting also dropped significantly to just 25 percent.


The upcoming game promises excitement as fans will look for improvements on turnovers and consistency from beyond the arc from Florida's side. With recent victories under their belt but areas needing attention highlighted in previous games, it's set up to be an intriguing contest.
