The Florida Gators trailed by 10 at halftime and by as many as 15 points in the second half against Arkansas ton Tuesday night.
And though they made a valiant run — coming all the way back to lead in that second half, albeit briefly — that deficit proved a hole too deep for the Gators to dig all the way out of in Bud Walton Arena, as they fell 75-64, in their first game in nearly two weeks.
Four Hogs scored at least 14 points, paced by Dayonte Davis’s 18, and Florida got double-digit scoring from just Tyree Appleby (16 points) and Colin Castleton (13 points off the bench) on a night when it shot 38 percent from the field and 19 percent from three.
