Gators Hold Steady at No. 3 in AP Poll
Monday, February 10, 2014 | Men's Basketball
The Florida men's basketball squad held steady at No. 3 in the Associated Press poll and No. 4 in the USA Today Coaches' poll for the third consecutive week.
Improving to 10-0 in conference play, the Gators are the only undefeated team atop the SEC standings, while also becoming one of just 10 teams in the nation to be victorious in all of their conference games thus far.
Florida has won 15-straight SEC home games after defeating Missouri and Alabama last week. With the win over the Crimson Tide, Florida's senior class of Casey Prather, Scottie Wilbekin, Will Yeguete and Patric Young earned their 105th win as a group, tying them for the third-most wins by a senior class in program history.
The Gators will hit the road this week, taking on Tennessee on Tuesday night at 7 p.m. and Kentucky on Saturday at 9 p.m. The Orange and Blue will return home on Feb. 19 to face Auburn. Fans can click here to view ticket options and purchase available tickets.
