RALEIGH, N.C. — Florida coach Mike White spent the first three months of the season watching his Gators burn through just about any cushion they had in building a viable NCAA Tournament resume.

Now, with roughly three weeks until Selection Sunday, his team is coming off a big win positioned to...

When Florida's KeVaughn Allen pulled up for an open 3 early in the second half at LSU, he'd been limited to just three shots and had not scored a point.

Allen's fourth shot went down — a moment LSU coach Will Wade called “the biggest play of the game.”

“He saw the first one go in and it was over...

Not only was Andrew Nembhard’s shooting perfect this past weekend at Alabama, so was the freshman point guard’s timing.

Nembhard’s 9-for-9 performance from the field carried the Florida Gators to a win critical to their tenuous NCAA Tournament aspirations.

“It was a big win for us because opportunities...

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Andrew Nembhard couldn't miss and for a while Alabama couldn't hit.

Florida's freshman star Nembhard scored a career-high 21 points without missing a shot and the Gators pounded the Crimson Tide 71-53 on Saturday in easily their most lopsided road win of the year.

The Florida Gators’ second spring game under coach Dan Mullen is set for 1 p.m. April 13 in the Swamp.

Tennessee's players resisted the temptation of staging a repeat performance of a postgame “Gator chomp” after their latest victory over Florida.

The Florida Gators have not beaten the nation’s No. 1 team in basketball since the 2007 national-title game against Ohio State.

To simply make next month’s NCAA Tournament, coach Mike White’s struggling squad will need a major reversal of fortune.

A win at top-ranked Tennessee Saturday certainly...

The Florida Gators — and the rest of the SEC — lag behind Alabama and Georgia on the football field.

But the Gators made some nice inroads on the recruiting trail on National Signing Day.

Dan Mullen and his staff landed a big-time recruit at the expense of each of the SEC heavyweights.

The Gators’...

By day’s end, coach Dan Mullen’s second class could be ranked inside the top 10 — the first time for UF since 2014.

Only a few players remain in play for the Gators. But there should be plenty of drama.

South Florida is the...

Elite athlete Mark Antony-Richards chose the Auburn Tiger Gators over the Florida Gators Wednesday, robbing Dan Mullen another big-time recruit on National Signing Day.

The South Florida Sun-Sentinel's 2018 Player of the Year, Richards is ranked the nation’s No. 4 “athlete,” according to 247Sports.

The Rowdy Reptiles — the Florida Gators’ loyal and loud student section — camped out Friday night and filled their seats two hours prior to Saturday’s tipoff.

Anticipation was sky high for a visit from the Wildcats, the nation’s seventh-ranked team and the SEC’s gold standard.

Coach John Calipari...

The madness in college basketball is still a month away.

The Florida Gators are ahead of schedule.

The postseason push for coach Mike White’s team effectively begins with the start of February, beginning at 4 p.m. Saturday when No. 7 Kentucky visits a sold-out O’Connell Center.

Too little offense...

The rich get richer.

The SEC announced Friday it will distribute $43.1 million in revenue to each of its 14 schools school, up 5.4 percent from a year earlier.

With a flick of the wrist and the game on the line, senior guard KeVaughn Allen turned an off night into one to remember for him and the Florida Gators.

TCU never trailed after Kouat Noi scored the game's first seven points. When Florida got even in the second half after a horrendous start and bad shooting day all around, the lanky forward for the Horned Frogs put them ahead to stay.

Noi finished with 22 points, outscoring the Gators all by himself...

It took clutch guard play and strong defense down the stretch for the Gators to put away the Aggies in the second half Tuesday night.

The Gators went 17 games this season without...

UF coach Mike White enters a make-or-break stretch for the Gators leaning increasingly on a trio of teenagers with barely 50 games of college experience.
