The Gators had an off night against Ohio State in the championship game of the Fort Myers Tip-Off on Wednesday.
They only shot 37 percent from the field, including just 4-for-14 (29 percent) from beyond the arc. They missed a bunch of wide-open shots, including some layups. They missed 10 free throws. They committed a couple of sloppy turnovers. Ohio State’s size and physicality disrupted their ball movement for most of the game. Their best shooter, Myreon Jones, went just 2-for-7 and turned it over four times.
On the other end, they allowed the Buckeyes to shoot 53 percent, by far their worst defensive showing of the season.
