The Gators turned in kind of a ho-hum performance in the first half of their game against Milwaukee on Thursday evening. They led 33-22 at halftime, but they only went 2-for-11 from beyond the arc and turned it over six times.
Those missed opportunities on the offensive end allowed the Panthers to remain within striking distance as they headed into their locker room.
Then the No. 24 Gators exploded out of the gates in the second half to the tune of a 32-4 run over the first 13 minutes of the half to bury them. Included in that run was a more than 11-minute stretch where the Panthers didn’t make a field goal.
