Saturday night started with some bittersweet tears as the Gators celebrated the work of their outgoing senior class and it ended with happy tears as they completely controlled the game with the Ole Miss Rebels coming away with a 90-71 win. You never know how a team is going to respond to Senior Night festivities after the emotional ceremony before tip-off, but for Florida the celebration seemed to fuel them as they played an inspired game of basketball keeping the Rebels at arm’s length as they took an easy victory. With the win the Gators improved to 27-4 on the season and 14-4 in the SEC, locking up second place in the league and also adding another quality win to their NCAA Tournament resume that sees them right in the mix for a 1-seed.
