Florida basketball will begin a critical two-game homestand Wednesday night when it hosts Mississippi State at the O’Connell Center.
The Florida Gators (12-6, 2-3 SEC), 7-1 at home this season, are coming off their first true road win of the season, winning 79-67 at Missouri.
“We controlled the game,” Florida basketball coach Todd Golden. “Once we got a little bit of a lead in the second half, generally, on an opponent’s home floor they’re going to make some runs and you’re going to have to hang on to it a little bit. But our guys did a good job of finishing it from start to finish in the second half. I feel like that’s the kind of game we can build on, obviously, for these two home contests.”
