Florida women’s hoops look to play LSU

The Florida Gators take on the LSU Tigers on Sunday.

Competition of the Gators and Tigers

LSU women’s hoops have had an impressive season so far. They’re 22-4. However, the Gators are not far behind as they’re 20-6. Earlier this season, Florida actually defeated LSU on Jan. 23.

Thanks to 6’3 sophomore Jordyn Meritt, she led the Lady Gators to a 10-4 lead by the first timeout of the game.

The game was a tight race, but the Gators came out on top, taking the win by one point.

The question that remains in many Gator fans’ heads: Will Florida be able to take the W again?

Florida’s 2021-22 season seems to have the evidence to answer the question as yes.
