Defending champion and No. 10 Florida trying to shake an early season shooting slump
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 at Jacksonville neutral-site game.
- Coach Todd Golden said the entire team is in a shooting slump and is a little concerned, pointing to heavy pressure on new backcourt Fland and Lee, who missed last year's title run.
- Game logs show Florida shot 6 of 32 against North Florida and 7 of 27 from long range in the season opener at Arizona in Las Vegas, ranking above only Fordham among 355 Division I teams.
- Despite concern, the coaching staff and roster stressed Todd Golden, Florida head coach’s message to keep shooting, while players concede they're off now but expect to improve, with Fland calling it early season.
- Despite the slump, only Thomas Haugh is shooting better than 25% from 3 at 5 of 16, while Fland and Klavár provide timely scoring and poll attention.
