Standing 6-foot-9, it should be expected that Florida Gators forward Thomas Haugh is able to win on the glass.

Florida improved to a perfect 3-0 after taking down Florida State on Tuesday, Nov. 10, 81-72.

It was a physical game, to say the least, one that ended with a bang as Florida threw down an alley-oop after the final buzzer.

All three of the Gators opponents so far have been in-state, but there's nothing quite like playing Miami and FSU in two of the first three games.

It's incredibly impressive for Haugh to make it out of those games specifically with double-doubles, and had he played longer against Jacksonville, he likely would've had one in that game as well.

Through the first three games of the year, the expected All-American has 54 points to go alongside 27 rebounds.

Haugh led the way in both points (21) and rebounds (10) against the Seminoles. Alex Condon also grabbed 10 boards, though he finished one point shy of a double-double.

Florida came into the year ranked No. 1 for a reason, and they've proved exactly why through this trio of games.

Haugh dropped 19 points on No. 14 Miami with 10 rebounds, and he then scored 14 against Jacksonville with seven rebounds in just 26 minutes.

For reference, Haugh played 38 minutes in the season opener and then was on the court for 34 minutes against FSU.

His 13 field goal attempts in the Orion180 Tipoff Classic were by far the most he's attempted in a game this season.

To put things into perspective, Haugh has attempted just 16 points in his last two games combined.

This is a kid who scored 10 of his 21 points from the charity stripe against FSU, and that goes to show just how aggressive they were against the Pennsylvania native.

Other than Condon, Rueben Chinyelu has been exactly what this team has needed. In the Jacksonville game, he led the way with 21 points.

He also led the way in terms of rebounds as he grabbed 14 against Miami in Tampa.

Together, that trio is going to do wonders for Florida's hopes of winning another National Championship, but it all starts with Haugh.

Todd Golden likely won't have him on the court for too long on Friday, Nov. 13, against Merrimack, but it'll be yet another chance for him to prove why he's one of the best in the nation and has blossomed into a double-double machine.
