Florida basketball returns to the road on Wednesday after a two-game homestand to face South Carolina on Wednesday night.
The No. 6 Florida Gators (16-2, 3-2 SEC) split a two-game homestand last week, bouncing back from an 83-82 home loss to Missouri to beat Texas 84-60 on Saturday. Florida is 2-1 in three true road games this season, with wins at Florida State and Arkansas.
Senior point guard Walter Clayton Jr. leads UF in scoring (17.9 ppg) and assists (3.7 apg). Grad transfer guard Alijah Martin is averaging 16.2 points per game and scored a team-high 22 points in UF’s win over the Longhorns, while sophomore forward Alex Condon (10.8 ppg, 8.2 rpg) has posted double-doubles in three of his last four games.
South Carolina (10-8, 0-5 SEC) is still seeking its first conference win and has dropped five straight. Sophomore forward Collin Murray-Boyles leads the Gamecocks in both scoring (15.4 ppg) and rebounding (9.2 rpg).
Florida is 48-29 all-time against South Carolina. The Gamecocks won the last meeting between the two schools last season, knocking off UF 82-76 on March 2, 2024.
