Playing at one of the great venues in college basketball at Hinkle Fieldhouse the Gators were outplayed by the home Butler Bulldogs by a score of 76-62. The Gators started the game with some quick buckets and some stout defensive possessions but their favor ended quickly with the Bulldogs figuring out Florida’s defense and suffocating them on the other side of the floor. A 9-point lead for the Bulldogs swelled to as much as 16 in the second half and while the Gators made a run to cut it to single digits they couldn’t maintain the momentum required to come back against a disciplined home team.
