Florida Gators announce three more sellouts for men's hoops
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Fresh off a 30-point win over the nation’s No. 1 team and a 14-1 start to the season, the No. 8 Florida Gators have sold out upcoming games vs. Texas (Jan. 18), Georgia (Jan. 25) and Texas A&M (March 1), the Gator Ticket Office announced on Friday.
The Gators also sold out their previous two home games vs. Stetson and Tennessee over winter break, and the 11,011 fans in attendance for the historic win vs. Tennessee marked the largest winter break crowd and fifth-largest overall since the 2016 O’Connell Center renovation.
“It’s an incredible homecourt advantage,” Florida coach Todd Golden said of the turnout for the SEC home opener against the Vols. “I think our fans have been fantastic supporting us. You know, as amazing as it was tonight, when you sell out a game like Stetson a couple weeks ago on a weekend of a break with no students around on Sunday, I think it was like, ‘Man, like, alright, these fans really have our back.’ You know, they’ve done a great job supporting us all year, and we knew what (Tennessee) was going to be.
“We drove up for shootaround; I think I got to the O’Dome at like 12:30, and the line was already around the block with people waiting to get into the gym. We knew it was going to be a great atmosphere tonight, and we knew we’re going to get a lift from the crowd. Obviously, after Year 1, specifically last year and this year, this has become a great home-court advantage for us and one of the best in America.”
In addition to the trio of sellouts, limited inventory remains for Florida’s other two Saturday home dates against South Carolina (Feb. 15) and Ole Miss (March 8).
