Richard Makes History: Moves Past Horford, Noah on Florida’s Scoring List

Will Richard’s impressive scoring streak continued as he propelled the Florida Gators to an 89-70 victory over Texas A&M. His game-high 25-point performance not only secured a crucial win for the Gators but also propelled him past Florida legends Al Horford and Joakim Noah on the program’s all-time scoring list. He now sits at 43rd with 1,135 career points.

Richard’s offensive explosion, highlighted by a career-tying six 3-pointers, five of which came in the second half, was instrumental in the Gators’ dominant performance. After a quiet game against LSU, he has now amassed 55 points in the last two outings, showcasing his ability to be a key offensive threat. He emphasized his focus on winning, stating, “I’d rather score zero and win.”

The Gators’ success from beyond the arc, with 14 total 3-pointers, coupled with a strong defensive effort that limited Texas A&M’s 3-point shooting, solidified their victory. This win also significantly improves their chances of securing the No. 2 seed in the SEC Tournament. With one more win against either Alabama or Ole Miss, they will clinch a double-bye, joining Auburn. Coach Todd Golden emphasized the team’s continued pursuit of a national No. 1 seed, highlighting the importance of their upcoming games.
