Playing without their star center Colin Castleton the Gators didn’t have much of a shot against the hungry Arkansas Razorbacks, falling 84-65. Missing the heart and soul of the team the Gators had to search for answers on the offensive and defensive side of the basketball and at this point of the season that’s a monumental task. Playing against an Arkansas team that has underachieved to this point of the season but is loaded with talent made for a difficult matchup and Florida simply didn’t have the horses to keep up. For the first 20 minutes the Gators were able to keep the game respectable but at the start of the second half Arkansas came out with guns blazing and stretched the lead to 20 and held on to that margin for much of the game.
