Florida got the jump on Alabama leading them at the half but quickly ran out of steam in the second, losing the last 20 minutes of the game 47-31 on their way to a 83-70 loss to the Crimson Tide. Florida had a few spurts of inspired basketball to keep the game somewhat in touch but ultimately the Gators struggled in too many facets of the game to keep relevant. All five Alabama starters had double figures in a comfortable win for them on the road in Gainesville, making it clear that the Gators have a lot of work to do if they want to compete at all with the top half of the SEC.
