The Gators took a step in the right direction on Thursday night with a decisive 72-49 win over Stanford advancing them to the finals of the consolation side of the Battle 4 Atlantis bracket. Deaundrae Ballard was feeling it on the perimeter for the Gators with 17 points while Noah Locke also had a pure stroke going with 11 points on 3-6 three-point shooting. Florida set the tone defensively early only allowing 13 Stanford points in the first half and the hole they put the Cardinal in was too much for them to climb out of. They now wait to face the winner of Butler and Middle Tennessee State with Butler being the heavy favorite to win.
