Gator Tales with Sean Kelley, Presented by UF Health hits the hardwood this week as Episode 53 features head men's basketball coach Todd Golden ahead of Florida's Nov. 3 season opener vs. Arizona.

With the 2026 campaign set to tip off in Las Vegas in less than two weeks, Golden and Kelley discuss the busy offseason for the reigning National Champions. Golden also previews the upcoming season with high expectations in store once again for the AP's Preseason No. 3 team.

In cutting down the nets last April, Golden became the youngest head coach to guide his team to a national championship since Jim Valvano in 1983. Under his leadership, the Gators closed the season on a 12-game winning streak, with marquee wins over nine top-25 programs, including No. 1 seeds Auburn and Houston.
