GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Florida women's basketball will go for their fifth-consecutive Southeastern Conference victory, a feat that hasn't been accomplished since the 2008-09 season, on Sunday afternoon when No. 11/10 LSU comes to town for a 2 p.m. ET matchup.
The game will be streamed live on SEC Network+ with Kyle Crooks and Brittany Davis on the call. Tom Collett and Bree Maxwell will handle radio responsibilities on 98.1FM/850AM WRUF.
Sunday marks the 46th meeting between the Gators and Tigers, with LSU holding a 31-14 advantage in the series. Florida, however, claimed the last meeting, 73-66, on Feb. 13, 2021, snapping a five-game losing skid to the Tigers. The Gators are 8-14 against LSU at home.
On Thursday evening, Florida earned their second top-25 road victory of the season, demolishing #23/22 Kentucky in Lexington, 77-52. Behind 25 points, eight rebounds and six assists from Kiara Smith and 15 points from Alberte Rimdal, the Gators handed Kentucky their worst home loss since Jan. 17, 2008 when Tennessee defeated the Wildcats, 65-40. It was the also largest victory over Kentucky for UF since an 85-48 win on Jan. 7, 2001 in Lexington. UF outscored the opposition 40-16 in the paint and 25-2 off the bench.
Florida's 25-point victory over #23 Kentucky marked the largest win over a top-25 squad since the 2003-04 season when they defeated #15 UC Santa Barbara, 75-59. It also was the largest win on the road over a top-25 squad since a 94-61 win over #20 Georgia on Jan. 7, 1998.
The Gators earned their fourth-straight win in the SEC after defeating Kentucky, marking the first time since the 2010-2011 season they've accomplished that feat. During that stretch, they defeated Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, Georgia and Arkansas consecutively. Georgia was ranked 22nd. The Orange & Blue haven't won five-straight since the 2008-09 season.
After earning SEC Freshman of the Week honors for her performances against Auburn and Alabama, Alberte Rimdal recorded her second-consecutive game with five triples, a feat never accomplished by a freshman at Florida before Thursday. She became one of just three freshmen to hit at least five threes in multiple games, joining Sha Brooks (2005-06) and Jaterra Bonds (2010-2011).
LSU enters Sunday's contest the No. 11 team in the nation, boasting a 17-2 record (5-1 SEC). Their lone loss came at the hands of No. 1, South Carolina, 66-60.
