Gators Clinch Outright SEC Crown in 108-74 Win Over Mississippi State
Florida, ranked No.5, dominated Mississippi State 108-74 to seal the outright SEC title at halftime, as coach Todd Golden earned his 100th win in 139 games. With Thomas Haugh sidelined for precaution, six Gators reached double figures led by Alex Condon's 26 points and Xaivian Lee's 19 (plus five rebounds, six assists); Rueben Chinyelu added 11 points, 16 rebounds for his 18th double-double, and Micah Handlogten had 10 points and nine boards. The Gators shot 55% and dished 25 assists to five turnovers, using an 18-0 run to turn a 24-14 deficit into a 47-35 halftime lead. UF clinched the title outright thanks to Georgia's earlier win; they finish 24-6 overall and 15-2 in the SEC and will play Kentucky next, while MSU (13-17, 5-14) hosts Georgia.
