This week, I had the wonderful opportunity to speak with
@InterGNV
KF's head coach Darnell Bernier about his journey bringing a
@USLLeagueTwo
club to Gainesville, Fla. Check it out!
Walter Clayton Jr. in the post-game press conference: "I don't know if you all know, but I have a very deep hatred for Florida State."
@InsideTheGators
Massive line as the students are here to support the Florida Gators against No. 16 Alabama on senior night. The game starts at 7 pm👀

Tyrese Samuel on Micah Handlogten's performance tonight: "My boy
@MHandlogten
is the best offensive rebounder in the country."
@Zyonpullin2
responded with "Quote that."
@InsideTheGators
@flameosumeet
They aren’t using him as a starter. Off the bench, 65th minute would help them a lot. Now if they do start him, idk what they were thinking
Todd Golden on the
#Gators
freshman playing great tonight: "Normally I'd be upset after Condon taking away Walter's and one, but he was playing so hard. So I told him to keep on going."
@InsideTheGators
@ExJohnHonestyy
Giving players more than 60 minutes of game time in their first game back after a serious injury would be dumb. Great and obvious move by Ancelotti to take him off
.
@willrxch
on what he wanted his opening statement to be about. "The student section. It was special in there."
Tyrese Samuel followed with "14-1 at home? Thank you to all the fans that come out."
@InsideTheGators
Tyrese Samuel on Florida scoring 10 straight free throws to end the game: "Shows that we've been working on it."
How hard? "Real hard."
@InsideTheGators
Coach Golden on the transition from last year to this season: "We aren't as consistent as I want us to be, especially on the road, but we are in the arena."
@InsideTheGators
If college basketball only lasted 30 minutes, the Gators would be the No. 1 team in the NCAA. Blowing a 10 point lead to lose by six is unacceptable. Florida needs to close out games.
Wow! After trailing 8-0 to start the game, Florida leads 48-33 going into the locker room. The Gators went on a 21-2 run to close out the half.
@InsideTheGators
Will Richard on beating Vanderbilt "They beat me in the NIT my freshman year, so I definitely don't like losing to Vandy."
Richard played for the Belmont Bruins during the 2021-22 season.
@InsideTheGators
Zyon Pullin on taking Florida's three-game win streak to Kentucky: "I think we have a good matchup, we played them pretty close last time and we have the momentum now."
@InsideTheGators
Golden's opening statement:
"I thought our energy and enthusiasm covered them up in the first 25 minutes. I need to do a better job with our guys. Our half court execution against zone and junk defenses has not been good. That's not on them, that's on me."
@InsideTheGators
Coach Todd Golden after the press was told to hurry things up since coach Pearl still had to sit down and answer questions:
"Eh, he can wait."

@ThomasHaugh4
has 9 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists in just 9 minutes this afternoon. He is 4/4 in the first half, 1/1 from beyond the arc. He's become a fan favorite since his career high against Georgia.
Coach Golden yelled "Let's go," and raised his arms up as he headed to the locker room for halftime. His Gators have been fantastic today. They lead 52-22 at the half.
Weak call on the ref on Alex Condon. Great defensive play by the freshman to get back and make that block. Condon got those two points right back the next play.
49-20 Gators
Walter Clayton Jr. on
@RileyKugel
this week in practice: "He was smiling all week. You knew he was going to have a good week."
Kugel added later on: "And I had a Caramel Frappuccino this morning."
@InsideTheGators
Stats from the first half:
- Shooting 45% from the field, 14/31
- Shooting 27% from three, 3/11
- 6 turnovers leading to 9 points for the Rebels
- Kugel 0/3 from the field in 4 minutes, 0 points
- Walter Clayton Jr. has 15 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist.
@InsideTheGators
With 11:46 left in the first half, the student section seems to have filled up nicely. Still some empty seats, but the Gator fans have been loud. Gators 21 - Seminoles 5
0-0 at halftime. Arsenal attacking well, but Fulham is holding on. If Arsenal doesn't score soon, I wouldn't be surprised if they end up losing. One mistake will change this game.
