The Gators fought tooth and nail for forty minutes with the notoriously gritty Texas Tech Red Raiders and even though they nearly came away with some late game magic the basketball gods were not on the side of the team from Gainesville as the Gators fell by a score of 69-66. Down by 5 with less than thirty seconds left the Gators executed their late game offense with near perfection with a straight line drive layup for Chiozza followed by a steal generated by the press. Then the Gators were able to get a wide open three to tie by one of their best shooters in Egor Koulechov who couldn’t convert, and then they even got a three-point look for Jalen Hudson who also rimmed out.
