Top social media reactions to Florida basketball's blowout of Alabama in SEC Tournament
The Florida Gators beat the Alabama Crimson Tide in the quarterfinal round of the SEC Tournament on Saturday afternoon, 104-82, to set up a matchup with the Tennessee Volunteers in the conference finals.
It was a game that was tightly contested early on, with Todd Golden's team taking a two-point lead into halftime. However, the Orange and Blue turned forced the issue in the second half, pulling out to a double-digit lead that would go unchallenged until the final horn.
As one might expect, the program and its fans are absolutely ecstatic with the win, and as is their wont, took to social media after the game to express their elation. Below is a sampling of some of the reactions on Twitter after the event.

The Gators not only beat the brakes off Alabama - they set an SEC Tournament scoring record (104 points). You can’t tell me Florida isn’t the best team in the country

Gators and Cougars are on another level right now. I think the actual talent of UF went under the radar because they were never fully healthy. Their bench is a top 25 team.
