Florida Gators fall just short of Tennessee takedown

The final score of Saturday night’s game between the Florida Gators and Tennessee Volunteers does not come close to telling the real story.

But it does tell the story of the final minutes. After playing tough with one of the best teams in the country for a majority of the night, the Gators once again let focus slip away late and couldn’t close things out.

The Vols got out to a six-point lead early and looked like they may be able to dominate the game had things kept going in that direction. Momentum shifted Florida’s way when KeVaughn Allen made his second three-pointer in just over a minute and got to the foul line for a four-point play.
