The game could have been a blowout.
In fact, with the way the Gators men’s basketball team ambled out of the opening tip of Saturday’s SEC/Big 12 Challenge, it should have been a blowout.
Florida only lost to TCU 55-50 in Fort Worth, Texas. But an “it could have been worse” performance does little for morale, especially for a team that suffered its eighth loss of the season in a game that was almost a come-from-behind win.
However, the Gators might emerge from future matchups with more than just moral victories if they capitalize off the bright spots that were evident in Saturday’s loss.
