It would be tempting to chalk up the Florida Gators’ 90-86 overtime win over Ole Miss on Wednesday as the result of any number of individual heroic moments.
KeVaughn Allen hit the game-tying three with seconds left and made an incredible save — think Patric Young at Tennessee — in overtime, after all. Noah Locke hit six threes, all of them big. Andrew Nembhard stroked two threes, one of them at a point in overtime when Florida desperately needed breathing room. Kevarrius Hayes flashed everywhere on defense, trying his damnedest to make up for other defensive deficiencies.
