No. 10 Florida Rolls Past Miami 82-68 Behind Dominant Frontcourt

The defending champions capped a rare sweep of in-state rivals to move to 3-1.

Overview

  • Alex Condon scored 19 points, Thomas Haugh added 17, and Reuben Chinyelu posted 16 points and 12 rebounds in the win.
  • Condon and Chinyelu fouled out with more than five minutes remaining, and backup center Micah Handlogten exited in the first half after a head impact and did not return.
  • Florida, one of the nation’s poorest 3-point shooting teams entering the game, went 9-for-29 from deep as Urban Klavžar hit four threes.
  • The Gators secured their first sweep of Florida State and Miami in about two decades, reinforcing their frontcourt-driven identity early in the season.
  • Miami’s Malik Reneau had 22 points and 11 rebounds before fouling out, but the Hurricanes missed 12 free throws as Florida edged the boards 47-41.
