Wednesday’s game between the Florida Gators and Alabama Crimson Tide saw two of the hottest teams in the SEC facing off and while the Gators (18-8, 8-5 SEC) fought hard in a tough road environment their efforts ultimately came up short with the home Crimson Tide (19-7, 11-2 SEC) winning 98-93 in an overtime thriller. It was the Gators who controlled much of this game holding on to a lead for the bulk of action for a second half surge by the Crimson Tide brought them back into the game and when it seems like Florida started to get fatigued Alabama continued to keep their foot on the gas and that was the difference.
