The Gators had finally gotten back in the game. They had blown their early 20-point lead but now had the game tied again with momentum on their side.
A steal by Alabama’s Shaquera Wade and pass to guard Cierra Johnson right at the end of the third quarter sent the entire UF team chasing in desperation. Johnson stopped short and threw up a one-footed, teardrop shot from the top of the arc that went in for her second buzzer-beater of the night and an Alabama lead.
