The No. 9 Gators enter ranked in The Associated Press Top 10 for the first time since November 2019 and seeking just the third 10-0 start in program history. UF’s nine-game win streak is the longest since the program-record 30 consecutive in the 2013-14 season.

Arizona State (8-1) is also on a winning streak, having won six in a row to move two spots shy of The AP Top 25. The Sun Devils (along with Arizona, Colorado and Utah) are in their first season as a member of the Big 12 following the collapse of the Pac-12. Their lone loss came at No. 8 Gonzaga, 88-80, on Nov. 10. They are an outstanding 3-point shooting team (39.5 percent ranking 19th nationally).
Today’s 3:30 p.m. game (SEC Network, ESPN 98.1-FM/850-AM WRUF) is sandwiched between the event’s two other games: No. 2 Auburn (8-1) vs. 6-3 Ohio State (1 p.m., ESPN2) and Georgia (8-1) vs. 6-2 Grand Canyon (6 p.m., SECN).
