For most of their six-game sprint to national prominence in November, the Florida Gators looked like a sweet-shooting, free-wheeling outfit with more than enough offense to compensate for any of their few defensive shortcomings.
For almost the entirety of their 83-66 Tuesday night torching with Texas A&M — on the road in College Station, in their first true road game of the 2017-18 season — those Gators were back.
Florida sank 17 of 28 threes — 10 of them in the first half, with six Gators making multiple treys — and got at least seven points from all but one Gator who saw the floor in a comprehensive offensive explosion.
