Thomas Haugh shot a team-high 20 points and 13 boards, earning another double-double, along with Rueben Chinyelu with 10 pts and 16 boards. #Gators

Happy Gilmore 2 is dumb, brainless and absurd. But its also tons of fun to watch. I love it when Sandler brings in cameos (Scheffler was hilarious) and gave us a nostalgic ride. Its not art, but its a fun sequel.
That’s all i wanted and it delivered. 👍👍
