2014–15 Florida Gators men's basketball team

{{main|2013–14 Florida Gators men's basketball team}}

The Gators finished the 2013–14 season as the SEC regular-season champions with an overall record of 36–3, 18–0 record in conference play, the first SEC team to ever accomplish the feat, after the SEC re-expanded to an 18-game regular-season schedule prior to the 2012–13 season.{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/09/sports/ncaabasketball/florida-trounces-kentucky-to-finish-undefeated-in-sec.html?_r=0 |title=Gators Overwhelm Wildcats to Cap SEC’s First 18-0 Season |last1=Spousta |first1=Tom |date=March 8, 2014 |newspaper=The New York Times |access-date=March 9, 2014}} In doing so, the Gators won their seventh SEC regular season championship, and their third in four seasons. The Gators beat the Kentucky Wildcats 61–60 to claim the SEC Tournament championship. As a No. 1 seed in the 2014 NCAA tournament's South Region, Florida won its four tournament games, defeating 16-seed Albany, 8-seed Pittsburgh, 4-seed UCLA and 11-seed Dayton. The Gators' season ended with a loss to 7-seed, and eventual national champion, UConn in the Final Four.
