FORT WORTH, Texas – The Gators will make it four-straight games on the road when they faceoff with Texas Christian as a part of the Big 12/Southeastern Conference Challenge on Sunday at 2 p.m. ET.
Sunday’s game will be streamed live on Big XII Now on ESPN+ with Ron Thulin and Fred Williams on the call. Kyle Crooks and Brittany Davis will take care of radio responsibilities on 98.1FM/850AM WRUF.
Florida and TCU have met twice before, with each team picking up a victory on their home court. The Gators claimed the most recent meeting in 2007, defeating the Horned Frogs, 80-76, in overtime in the Stephen C. O’Connell Center.
Sunday will mark the fourth time that Florida has competed in the BIG 12/SEC Challenge, holding a 2-1 record through three games. The Gators hold victories over Texas Tech (2018, 72-67) and Oklahoma (2017, 80-61), but most recently fell to Kansas in 2019, 76-66.
Sunday’s game will also provide an opportunity to bounce-back following a close loss at George Mason on Wednesday evening. In her homecoming, Kiara Smith tallied a team-best 19 points and six assists while Lavender Briggs recorded her 12th-career double-double with 15 points and 12 rebounds.
Despite the setback, the Orange & Blue are still getting impressive defensive performances during the second and third quarters throughout the season. The third quarter has seen the Gators at the top of their game, outscoring opponents 158-112. Florida has been almost as good heading into halftime, outscoring the opposition 154-129 in the second quarter.
Partially responsible for the defensive success, Smith’s defense has risen to an elite level during 2021-22, sitting at 10th nationally with a total of 24 steals on the year. She is also ranked 54th in the nation in steals per game, averaging 2.67 during each outing.
Briggs will look to continue to inch closer to becoming the 27th-member of the 1,000-point club at Florida as she currently boasts 898 career points, just 102 away from joining the prestigious group.
