With this win, the Gators will now take on the Ole Miss Rebels on Wednesday in the second round of the tournament at 9 p.m. EDT. The game will be streamed via SEC Network. The Gators lost the series earlier in the year, dropping two of the three games in Oxford, Miss.

Several media outlets reported Tuesday morning that Fland, who shined for the Razorbacks as a freshman (13.5 points per game, 5.1 assists) despite missing 15 games with a thumb injury, had pledged to UF, potentially giving the Gators another daunting backcourt in 2025-26.
