No. 6 Florida Overcomes Vanderbilt with Second-Half Surge

Despite missing leading scorer Walter Clayton Jr., Florida secured an 86-75 victory with standout performances from Will Richard and Alex Condon.

  • Will Richard led Florida with 21 points, including five 3-pointers, while Alex Condon contributed 19 points and nine rebounds.
  • Florida played without Walter Clayton Jr., their leading scorer, who was sidelined with a left ankle sprain sustained in their previous game against Tennessee.
  • Sophomore Urban Klavzar, a seldom-used guard, hit two crucial 3-pointers during a pivotal second-half run that solidified Florida's lead.
  • The Gators shot an impressive 64.3% in the second half, making 7 of 11 attempts from beyond the arc to put the game out of reach.
  • Vanderbilt's Jason Edwards scored 20 points, but the Commodores struggled to defend Florida's perimeter shooting in the closing minutes.
