What they're saying about the Florida Gators' comeback win over Texas A&M

On3Keith

What. A. Comeback.

The Florida Gators are headed to the finals of the SEC Tournament after a thrilling come-from-behind 95-90 win Saturday over Texas A&M. The Gators, now 24-10 overall, trailed the Aggies by 18 in the first half.

Guard Denzel Aberdeen had a career day for Florida, finishing with a team-high 20 points off the bench.

Meanwhile, four other Gators scored in double-figures — Will Richard (19), Walter Clayton (16), Zyon Pullin (15) and Tyrese Samuel (15).

Florida will face No. 12 Auburn at 1 p.m. ET Sunday for the tournament title.

Social media was buzzing about the Gators during and after Saturday’s game.

Denzel Aberdeen legacy game???
— Evan (@GeorgasEvan) March 16, 2024

Last year the Florida Gators were preparing to see what seed they’ll have in the NIT Tournament.

A year later, UF will play in the SEC Tournament Final tomorrow and are bound for a spot in the NCAA Tournament.

Big year two for head coach Todd Golden and Florida🐊
