Todd Golden and his Florida basketball team wrapped up a perfect December on Saturday afternoon with a win over the Quinnipiac Bobcats inside the O’Connell Center, 97-72, to wrap up the non-conference schedule.
The Gators were led by game-high scorer Will Richard, who dropped 22 points on 8-for-13 shooting from the field (5-for-9 from beyond the arc) along with three rebounds in 20 minutes played. Four others broke the double-digit barrier, including Riley Kugel who logged a 10-plus point game for just the second time this month.
Matt Leblanc paced the Bobcats with 15 points along with four rebounds. The win represents a Quadrant 4 victory in the NET rankings for the Gators.
Take a look below at highlights from Florida’s tenth win of the 2023-24 campaign and final victory of the calendar year against Quinnipiac in Gainesville.
