The Florida Gators are far from the best team in this year’s SEC Tournament field, but they will go toe-to-toe with any of them. That’s what they did on Friday.
The No. 1 seed LSU Tigers came to play, but Florida came to win.
With so much uncertainty about their standing for the NCAA Tournament, the Gators knew they needed to make another statement. Freshman point guard Andrew Nembhard wasn’t ready to put Florida’s fate into the hands of the selection committee.
With the game all tied up and just 13 seconds left in regulation, the Gators had one last chance before the two teams would go into their third overtime meeting of the season.
