Florida Gators' Chinyelu Makes History in Rout

Florida Gators forward Rueben Chinyelu made history in their recent victory, breaking the programs double-double record and setting new tournament records. Chinyelu, a junior from Nigeria, notched his nineteenth double-double of the season with thirteen points and fourteen rebounds, surpassing the previous mark of eighteen set in the 1975-1976 season. He is averaging eleven point two points and eleven point five rebounds per game this year, while also holding the single-season offensive rebound record with one hundred thirty-seven. Coach Todd Golden praised Chinyelu for dominating the paint and fueling transition plays, as the Gators grabbed fifty-four rebounds to their opponents twenty and held them to just ten points in the paint. Florida also set tournament records for points and assists in the game, marking the second-biggest margin ever in the event. The win caps a strong frontcourt season for Florida, the defending national champions, and they advance to face ninth-seeded Iowa on Sunday at seven ten p-m on T-B-S, keeping their bid for back-to-back titles alive.
