Denzel Aberdeen helped Florida win a national championship last April. In his homecoming, he was dubbed a “Gator traitor.” The Kentucky guard was taunted endlessly in a 92-83 loss to the Gators. It was Aberdeen’s first game in Gainesville since leaving the program and signing with a Southeastern Conference rival. Florida’s student section “welcomed” him back with chants of “Gator traitor” every time he touched the ball. Aberdeen, who spent the previous three years at Florida, handled it well. He responded by scoring a team-high 19 points on 8-of-21 shooting. The Gators forced him to take contested shots.
