"The Gators dominated on both ends, making plays inside and out, and built a 30-point lead with 13 minutes to play. The biggest surprises were bench players Urban Klavzar and Isaiah Brown. Klavzar hit his first four 3-pointers and finished with 14 points, and Brown scored 11 thanks partly to two treys."
"But it was Florida's big men who controlled the tempo most of the way. Haugh, Chinyelu and Alex Condon had their way inside, helping the Gators outrebound Arkansas 49-30 and win the battle in the paint."
"The Gators (23-6, 14-2 SEC) closed out an unbeaten February with their ninth consecutive win and locked up their first regular-season championship since 2014. They remained two games ahead of No. 17 Alabama with two to play and can wrap up the outright title Tuesday night at home."
No. 7 Florida secured at least a share of the Southeastern Conference title by defeating 20th-ranked Arkansas 111-77. Thomas Haugh led the Gators with 22 points while Rueben Chinyelu recorded his 17th double-double of the season. Florida closed an unbeaten February with their ninth consecutive victory, improving to 23-6 overall and 14-2 in SEC play. The Gators built a 30-point lead with 13 minutes remaining, dominating both offensively and defensively. Bench contributors Urban Klavzar and Isaiah Brown provided unexpected scoring, while the interior players controlled the paint, outrebounding Arkansas 49-30. Florida remains two games ahead of Alabama with two regular-season games remaining and can clinch the outright title at home Tuesday.
