We're here live at the O'Dome for No. 3 Florida's matchup against No. 12 Texas A&M.

It's game day baby! Tune in for live updates throughout tonight's contest. Super important game for both teams.

 

[Luke Adragna]

Keys to the game (TAMU):

- Texas A&M is defined by its physicality. The Aggies are one of three SEC teams averaging more than 40 boards a game. It'll be important to monitor the rebound battle throughout the contest.
- Did I mention physicality? The Aggies are No. 7 in the country in defensive efficiency. Both teams tonight rank within the top-15 in the country.
- Five of the Aggies' six wins vs. AP Top 25 teams have come away from home (two were neutral sites). Texas A&M knows how to perform well on the road, so the crowd will have to be above and beyond tonight.

That first offensive possession looked uncharacteristically long for Florida.

Clayton gets a tough three to land though. I'm wondering if UF's pace will be slower at all tonight.

 

[Luke Adragna]

Two fouls on Rueben Chinyelu already. Not good - but it's always good to have a guy like Condon coming off the bench.

 

[Luke Adragna]

Condon and Payne were getting PHYSICAL right there. Emotions are high right now.

H1 - 14:10

TAMU 14
UF 10

Aggies are thriving from deep and have buried three triples. Four of Florida's baskets have come off of assists. It's been a back and forth contest so far.

Gators' last three baskets have come off the three-ball. Haugh has two of them as well. He shot just 33% beyond the arc coming into tonight.
