{{2024–25 Southeastern Conference men's basketball standings}}
The 2024–25 Florida Gators men's basketball team represented the University of Florida during the 2024–25 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Gators, led by third-year head coach Todd Golden, played their home games at the O'Connell Center in Gainesville, Florida, as members of the Southeastern Conference (SEC).
During this season, Florida experienced its most success in 11 years. Led by senior guards Walter Clayton Jr., Will Richard, and Alijah Martin, Florida posted a 27–4 regular season record, finishing second in the most difficult SEC season in conference history. The Gators got off to a hot start when they finished non-conference play with a 13–0 record and No. 6 ranking in the AP Poll, which was their highest ranking in 7 years. Despite early losses to Kentucky and Missouri, Florida got hot and finished the regular season winning 9 of their last 10 games. During this stretch, they pulled off massive wins on the road against No. 1 Auburn and No. 7 Alabama. Led by Clayton Jr. and Alex Condon, Florida was able to beat a No. 1 team on the road for the first time in program history.
As the No. 2 seed in the SEC tournament, they defeated Missouri and Alabama to advance to the SEC Championship, where they defeated Tennessee to clinch their first SEC championship since 2014. They received an automatic-bid to the 2025 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament as the No. 1 seed in the West region. They defeated Norfolk State 95–69, two-time defending national champions UConn 77–75, and Maryland 87–71 to advance to the Elite Eight. There, they defeated Texas Tech 84–79 to advance to their first Final Four since 2014. They would then defeat SEC rival Auburn 79–73 to advance to their first championship since 2007. In the championship game, they defeated Houston by a score of 65–63 to clinch their 3rd national title overall, and their first since 2007.
Previous season
The Gators finished the 2023–24 season 24–12, 11–7 in SEC play, to finish in sixth place. In the SEC tournament, the Gators beat Georgia, Alabama, and Texas A&M to advance to the championship game where they would fall to Auburn. The Gators earned an at-large bid to the 2024 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament as the No. 7 seed in the South region, where they lost to Colorado 102–100 in the first round.{{cite web |title=2023-24 Florida Gators Men's Schedule and Results |url=https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/schools/florida/men/2024-schedule.html |website=Sports Reference |access-date=31 July 2024}}{{cite magazine |last1=Goodall |first1=Zach |title=Florida Gators Tabbed No. 7 Seed in 2024 NCAA Tournament |url=https://www.si.com/college/florida/basketball/florida-gators-basketball-march-madness-2024-7-seed |magazine=Sports Illustrated |date=March 17, 2024 |access-date=31 July 2024}}
