Gators Move Up to No. 5/4 in the Polls

Following victories against then-nationally ranked Kentucky and Auburn, the University of Florida men’s basketball team was ranked No. 4 in the most recent USA Today Coaches’ Poll and fifth in the AP Poll. The Gators moved up two spots from last week in both polls.    

Florida will travel to Missouri on Tuesday, February 19 before they host Arkansas on Saturday, February 23. UF is looking to avenge its only in-conference loss of the season when they take on the Razorbacks in the O’Connell Center.
