Gainesville, Fla. – Florida Gators guard Walter Clayton Jr. tied a record for consecutive games hitting at least one 3-pointer in the 84-60 throttling of Texas. After knocking down another two 3’s against Texas, Clayton Jr. pushed his streak to 41 straight games with a 3. This tied former Gator Michael Frazier II in the program‘s record books.

The No. 5 Florida Gators (15-2, 2-2 SEC) look to rebound from their first home loss in more than a year with Saturday’s matchup against the Texas Longhorns (12-5, 1-3 SEC). Saturday marks the eighth meeting between Florida and Texas.
