NCAA Basketball: New Year, brand new top 25
By Doug Winkey
23. Florida Gators
Previous Ranking: N/A
Record: 12-3 (3-0 SEC)
Florida has reeled off five straight wins since going down at Florida State. The Gators recently beat upstart Tennessee to remain unbeaten in SEC play. They will take on Alabama in Tuscaloosa in their next battle.
KeVaughn Allen currently averages 14.7 points to lead the Gators, but he is getting plenty of help from other players. Devin Robinson is the second-leading scorer and rebounder on the team.
College of Charleston transfer Canyon Barry has also gotten hot with 15 and 20 points, respectively, in his last two games. Florida is definitely among the contenders for the conference’s second-best team.
