The final score of 100-77 tells the story of a second half that was never remotely close, and Florida (16-6, 7-2) was more than happy to push the pace late in search of cracking the 100-point mark. In fact, it was Olivier Rioux, a 7-foot-9 behemoth off the bench, who pushed the Gators into triple digits.

The Florida Gators are contending for a major four-star defensive lineman from an in-state school.

The first of potentially many highlights in Olivier Rioux's career occurred when he scored to get Florida to the century mark Sunday.

One of the biggest issues for the Florida Gators has been recruiting. It hasn't been necessarily bad over the last few seasons, but it's not up to the Gator standard that the likes of Steve Spurrier and Urban Meyer set when they won national championships.

Lane Kiffin and Co. are making their presence felt in a prized offensive lineman's recruitment, now among final schools.

Major SEC basketball showdowns and Ole Miss women's hoops finding a home in Birmingham are just some of the big storylines in the SEC.

The Gators will no longer face North Florida on Saturday, but will continue to face Florida Gulf Coast at noon for their match on Saturday, Feb. 7.

GAINESVILLE, Fla.-- Florida's presence in the paint headlined Sunday's win over Alabama, with the Gators out-scoring the Crimson Tide, 72-26, near the basket. Rueben Chinyelu, who recorded his 13th double-double with a 14-point, 17-rebound effort, and Alex Condon, who tied a season-high with 25 points with seven rebounds, headlined the effort.
