With 4.2 seconds to play and Florida trailing by two at Arkansas, the Gators inbounded the ball.
It went to junior guard Simone Westbrook, a transfer player who’s known more for her defense and potency from beyond the arc.
But instead of trying for a long-range game-winner, Westbrook drove into the lane for a jumper and sent the game to overtime.
Florida outlasted the Razorbacks in the extra period, winning 71-66 on Thursday night.
Florida struck first in overtime after an Eleanna Christinaki layup.
That basket wasn’t decisive, but her next one was.
After four lead changes over the five-minute period, Florida had final say when Christinaki laid in another layup to put UF up 67-66.
