Gators Back in the Top 10 of Both Polls

The University of Florida men’s basketball team is ranked in top-10 of the most recent AP Poll and USA Today’s Coaches Poll following victories against Georgia and LSU. The team is ranked ninth in the coaches’ poll for the third-consecutive week and moved up one spot from last week to No. 10 in the AP Poll.

The Gators will take on the two newest members of the SEC, Texas A&M and No. 17/16 Missouri, this week. UF will travel to College Station, Texas on Thursday, January 17, before they host nationally-ranked Missouri on Saturday, January 19 in the O’Connell Center.
