The defending national champions rank second to last nationally in 3-point shooting at 21% as they face pressure with a new starting backcourt, coach Todd Golden said.
- On Sunday, the No. 10 Florida Gators, defending national champions, face a 21% 3-point slump through a 2-1 start in Jacksonville, a pattern coaches are monitoring.
- Coach Todd Golden said the whole team faces a shooting slump and he is a little concerned, pointing to pressure on new starting guards Fland and Lee who missed last year's title run.
- Game logs show Florida shot 7 of 27 from long range in the season opener at Arizona in Las Vegas, ranking just above Fordham among 355 Division I teams.

- With AP Top 25 attention, only Thomas Haugh is shooting better than 25% from 3, while Fland and Klavár provide timely scoring in a comeback.
