If I had to guess, Florida’s women’s basketball team probably entered the fourth quarter of its game against Florida State on Wednesday night with significant confidence — even though it was trailing.
See, the Gators had erased cut an FSU lead of 12 points at halftime and 13 in the third quarter to tie the game in the third — and even though the Seminoles had rebuilt a six-point edge by the end of the quarter, Florida’s first two games of the season had featured dominant finishes, with the Gators crushing Florida A&M 22-8 and UNC Asheville 24-7 in those respective fourth quarters.
