While the No. 5 Florida Gators were celebrating the 84-60 home win against the Texas Longhorns on Saturday, that wasn’t the only result worth noting.
After a heartbreaking 84-83 loss at home against Missouri four nights earlier, the Gators took out the frustration against the Longhorn thanks to two of their starting guards. Alijah Martin scored 22 points and Walter Clayton Jr. added 19 to see the Gators improve to 16-2 overall and 3-2 in the SEC.
Clayton Jr. tied Michael Frazier II’s school record for consecutive games with at least one 3-pointer at 41 in a row. Clayton Jr. also contributed four rebounds and three assists. Frazier II went 41 straight games with a trey from Jan. 23, 2014 to Jan. 25, 2015.
