Thursday night’s game against Wisconsin didn’t start the way that Florida envisioned.
The Badgers, led by red-hot shooting, were able to take a nine-point lead in the first quarter. For a while, it seemed like everything that Wisconsin was putting up was going in.
At the half, UW led 44-43.
Fortunately for UF, it wouldn’t last.
Led by an 8-0 run to start the second half, the Gators were able to defeat Wisconsin by a lopsided final score of 91-75, which wasn’t indicative of how the game played out.
While Wisconsin had an excellent first quarter offensively, Florida (8-1) clawed its way back in the second.
