Florida women's basketball looks to stay hot against South Florida

Florida women’s basketball has gotten off to a strong start under first-year head coach Tammi Reiss, and the Gators will look to keep their undefeated record intact when they return to Gainesville Thursday. The Gators will host South Florida at the O'Connell Center for their first match since rebranding the venue to Tower Hill Arena, with tipoff scheduled for 6 p.m. ET. A victory would give Florida its first 4-0 start under Reiss and make this year’s squad just the eighth team in program history to open a season with four consecutive wins. Florida enters the matchup riding momentum from victories over Bucknell, UCF and Chattanooga, with third-year guard Kiyomi McMiller emerging as one of the nation’s most productive scorers. McMiller is averaging 29.7 points per game through her first three appearances, the best scoring start in program history and the second-highest average nationally as of Nov. 10. Her impressive opening stretch earned her Associated Press National Player of the Week honorable mention recognition and SEC Co-Player of the Week honors. However, McMiller hasn’t been the only Gator making an impact. Third-year Vivian Iwuchukwu has provided an efficient scoring presence inside, averaging 19.5 points over her last two games while
