LIV McGill's career evening powers Florida to annoy the victory against Alabama No. 19 in the Sec tournament

Last season, the Florida Gators deducted one of the most impressive ash puttel runs at the SEC women's basketball tournament. They drove in the ground with the Missouri Tigers and made an impressive surprise against Vanderbilt with the sixth seed before they against Ole Miss Kurz short climb.

This year the missions were higher and the opponents were harder. Florida's first two games in the 2025 tournament joined an Auburn team that flowed at the beginning of the 74-51 season, and a squad of Alabama took number 19 in the nation.

The Gators both took off in a few Down-to-the-wire competitions, achieving their first victory since 2022.

Florida shocked the Crimson Tide on Wednesday evening with a 63-61 victory, which was partly grateful to 29 points from the Freshman Guard Liv McGill thanks to 29 points. The UF Floor General, which, despite the lace, played her ankle against Auburn late Wednesday, shot 10 out of 17 from the field and 3 of 4 from the 3-point range.

When asked whether there are concerns about your status for Thursday evening, McGill held her answer Frank.

“I have no doubt that I played this evening,” said McGill. “Go straight to the hotel, got a treatment and prayed. God took care of it. “

The Senior Center Ra Shaya Kyle also had an impressive night for Florida – and nothing less. Kyle scored 12 points in the evening on a 5-to-7 clip from the field and six rebounds. First semester wing Me'arah o'neal loosened on the bench with nine boards.

In the meantime, the second guard Laila Reynolds had its share of ups and downs all night, but was there for the gators when they needed them the most. She ended with 10 points in the 4-of-18 shooting of the field and 2 of 8 from the Free Wurfine, but also six rebounds and three blown-last saved Floridas night.

With less than three seconds on the clock, Alabama had the chance to bind the game and possibly bring the Gator to the extension. Sarah Ashlee Barker, student of the Crimson Tide, received the inbound and set off for a jumper from just outside the key. Reynolds campaigned over them and sent them to the stands when the clock wrapped, and sealed one of the largest UPS in the latest UF history.

“Nothing really went through my head than getting the stop for my team,” said Reynolds. “Only to stay disciplined and stay in my key is the biggest for me.”

Although the Gators enter the night as a heavy outsider, they proved from the start that they would not go quietly. No team led with three points up to the 1: 56 mark of the first quarter when Reynolds achieved sales of Alabama in order to provide a 13-8 lead.

Nevertheless, the Crimson Tide reacted immediately with two consecutive three to close the quarter. That came after Alabama missed his first five threes at night and before it would shoot 1 for 10 in the second quarter.
