Grambling Tigers at Florida Gators
· NCAA Men's BasketballNo. 20 Florida beats Grambling State 86-62 as coach Todd Golden deals with allegations
Golden said previously he is considering “defamation claims."
Golden, 39, got a rousing ovation during pregame introductions. He shook hands with assistants and got several hugs from players as well as Grambling State coach Donte' Jackson. Golden's wife, Megan, and their two children sat behind the bench.
One difference: advertisements and public service announcements involving the coach were removed from video boards inside the O'Connell Center.
The Independent Florida Alligator reported Friday that the university is investigating Golden through a Title IX complaint.
Kintavious Dozier led the Tigers (1-2) with 19 points.
Florida: The Gators are 3-0 for the first time in Golden's three seasons. They have the depth and talent to be a factor in the SEC and showed they can handle a distraction.
