Liv McGill's career night powers Florida to upset win over No. 19 Alabama in SEC Tournament [View all]

Last season, the Florida Gators pulled off one of the more impressive Cinderella runs in the SEC Women’s Basketball Tournament. They skated by the bottom-seeded Missouri Tigers and pulled off an impressive upset against sixth-seeded Vanderbilt before coming up just short against Ole Miss.

This year, the stakes have been higher, and the opponents have been tougher. Florida’s first two games in the 2025 tournament came against an Auburn team that blew UF out 74-51 earlier in the season, and an Alabama squad ranked No. 19 in the nation.

The Gators took both down in a pair of down-to-the-wire contests, the latter giving them their first ranked win since 2022.

Florida shocked the Crimson Tide with a 63-61 victory on Wednesday night, thanks in part to a career-high 29 points from freshman guard Liv McGill. The UF floor general, who played despite tweaking her ankle late in Wednesday’s win over Auburn, shot 10 of 17 from the field and 3 of 4 from 3-point range.
