Florida 70, Georgia 63: Gators apply clamps to sweep Dawgs despite sloppy second half

The Florida Gators led almost from wire to wire against the Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday, getting double-digit scoring from four players en route to a 70-63 victory that seals a season sweep of their Peach State rivals.

That doesn’t mean it was a pretty or painless victory.

Florida committed 20 turnovers — 12 of them recorded as Georgia steals — and shot just 26 percent from three on the day, also allowing a lead that was as large as 18 in the first half and 15 at multiple points in the second half to dwindle to just five points with 27 seconds remaining.
