Teams rarely have a chance to avenge a non-conference loss in college basketball.
The Gators did. And they did a lot more than just avenge it.
Florida opened the game with an improbable 21-0 run. The Bulldogs didn’t sink their first field goal until nearly nine minutes had passed.
The Gators took advantage of the disastrous Butler start, hitting 10 of their first 14 shots. They never let up in a 77-43 victory over the Bulldogs.
UF only shot 34.
