Urban Klavzar on SEC Award, Team's Hot Shooting

0:00On March 11th, Florida Junior Guard Urban Clavesar spoke to reporters in Gainesville before heading to Nashville for the SEC Tournament. He just earned the conference's six-man of the year award after coming off the bench to make big impacts all season. Clavesar said the honor feels special, especially since he set that goal over the summer with his coach. He explained how he aimed to be aggressive right from the start, helping the Gators win games in any role. Once he found his rhythm, winning the award became a real target, and it motivates him even more now. Clavesar feels confident in his teammates, especially when defenses focus on him inside. Lately, the team has been hitting shots from outside, opening up the floor and leading to high scoring games like their 110-point outbursts. Against Mississippi State and Arkansas, drawing from last year's deep tournament run helps a ton, since they played every possible opponent. Cutting down the nets at home after the regular season title has the squad hungry to repeat that success.

1:00With the most important games ahead, Clavesar stressed staying consistent and game-by-game focus as they gear up for Friday's match-up.
