Alabama Basketball Snatches Defeat From The Jaws Of Victory

Boy oh boy. The Crimson Tide was clicking on all cylinders through most of the first half on Saturday night in Gainesville, until they weren't. The Tide built a 21 point lead that got cut to 14 over the last two minutes of the first frame. Florida then scored the first six points of the second half to make a game out of it. Poor court awareness, missed layups, and missed free throws, doomed the Tide down the stretch, and the Gators pulled out a 104-98 win in double overtime. The Tide fell to 7-6 overall and 0-1 in the SEC, Florida improved to 9-5, 1-0.
