SERIES HISTORY
The Gators and Rebels meet for the 46th time on Sunday afternoon, with Florida holding a slim 24-21 advantage all-time. Ole Miss has won the last two meetings, however, including a 70-60 win at the SEC Tournament quarterfinal in 2022.
LAST TIME OUT
The Gators earned a season-sweep over Texas A&M on Thursday evening, defeating the Aggies 61-54 in Gainesville. Ra Shaya Kyle recorded her fifth double-double of the season with 13 points and 17 rebounds, marking a career-best effort on the glass for the junior. KK Deans (12) and Nina Rickards (10) in double-figures, as UF dominated down low with a 40-18 advantage in the paint.

Zippy Broughton stepped-up to lead the Gators with 26 points, seven rebounds and two steals while Florida’s defense made the Rebels struggle from deep, ending just 2-of-18 (11.1%) from three-point range.
