Florida's defense played about as well as it could. But the Gators' offense was too punchless to knock out No. 1 Michigan State on the road.
Florida had only a slim chance of beating No. 1 Michigan State on Saturday, even before Gators big man John Egbunu committed all five of his allotted fouls in what seemed like three total minutes of play. And Florida has very little chance of winning any game against a good team in which it misses threes at the rate it seems prone to, or in which Kasey Hill sabotages his offensive game by missing more than half of his free throws.
