Beal, a Gator from the 2011-2012 season, posted pictures of himself from his time with Florida before tonight’s final. As a Gator, Beal was named SEC freshman of the week in 2011, signifying his success with the school. He would win the honor another five times and make the SEC-All Freshman team. At the end of that year’s season, he would average 14.8 points per game.
