Second-year Florida basketball coach Todd Golden is mindful of guarding against complacency heading into another tough road environment. Florida is 2-3 in true road games this season.

“If we feel like we’ve arrived or we feel like we can just walk into A&M and, you know, play, it ain’t gonna happen,” Golden said. “We’re going to get blasted. This is a really tough place to play, and, you know, this game will be just as challenging as our Kentucky game was.”
