UF men’s and women’s basketball both open seasons with wins

The top-ranked Florida men’s basketball team defeated No. 14 Miami in its season opener, erasing painful memories from last year’s NCAA Tournament. On the women’s side, UF launched the Tammi Reiss era with a dominant victory over Bucknell, with Kiyomi McMiller and Vanessa Harris combining for 57 points. Thomas Haugh was also noted as a key contributor in the men’s win over Miami.
