Florida had the ball with 13 seconds remaining down by 2 but unfortunately there was no Gator magic in Brooklyn as a Tyree Appleby jumper rattled off the rim giving the Maryland Terrapins a 70-68 win. Much of this game was played within a possession or two and it always had the feel it was going to come down to the final shot and it did, a step back from Appleby that he is more than comfortable with, and one that barely didn’t find the net.
It was somewhat of a frustrating game for the Gators who missed open shots all night and had a few questionable foul calls go against them.
