University of Florida head coach Amanda Butler addressed the media Monday morning as part of the Gators' All-Sports Media Day.
Coach Butler talked about last week's trio of victories, as the Gators defeated North Florida (54-51), South Alabama (61-51) and Navy (52-43). The final two wins were part of the Dead River Company Classic, which Florida won and junior Azania Stewart was named the event's Most Outstanding Performer.
Florida (5-1) plays three games this week, first hosting Old Dominion on Tuesday before traveling to Providence, R.I., to compete in Brown University's Brown BEAR Classic, Dec. 4-5. The Gators face Providence on Saturday at 4 p.m., before playing host Brown on Sunday at 2 p.m.
Coach also fielded questions about winning the tournament in Maine, on the early road trips with a young team, on the improvement of Azania Stewart, on being together on the road for Thanksgiving, on the benefit of playing different teams with different styles in such a short span and on Old Dominion.
