Things got a bit more dramatic than Florida hoped they would as they nearly blew a 20-point halftime lead but ultimately they were able to come away with the home win 82-80 over LSU. With the victory the Gators improve to 17-7 on the season and 7-4 in SEC play. For the first 25 minutes of action it was looking like this was going to be a runaway Florida win but the Tigers had something to say about that. Using multiple different defensive looks the Tigers were able to slow down Florida’s offensive attack and their tough-nosed guards continued to generate points to claw back into the game.
