Gators move up to No. 14

Florida moved up three spots to No. 14 in this week's AP Top 25 poll.

The Gators (15-4, 3-1 SEC), coming off a 76-64 home win against LSU on Saturday, also moved up to No. 13 in the ESPN/USA Today coaches poll.

Florida will next play Thursday at Ole Miss, then faces a quick turnaround for a Saturday home game against Mississippi State. It's the first of two Thursday-Saturday turnarounds the next two weeks for the Gators.

“You try to focus on what's in front of you and what's in front of us right now is three days to get prepared to play Ole Miss,” Florida coach Billy Donovan said. “That's going to take all of our attention.”
