Gators Hold On For Overtime Win Over Ole Miss

It took extra time in Gainesville but the Gators were able to get the early jump in overtime and come out on top over the Ole Miss Rebels by a score of 62-57. If that score sounds low to you for a game that had five extra minutes of basketball, you’d be correct. Neither team was able to get their rhythm offensively at any point in the game but the Gators were able to get a couple more key scores in overtime which was ultimately the difference. Ole Miss was actually up by 9 points at the half, and the Gators led by 6 with three and half minutes left, so it was a game of slowly building momentum that Florida was lucky to survive.
