Coach Mike White
Samantha Harrison / Alligator StaffThe distance from the O’Connell Center to Mizzou Arena is 1,008 miles.
It felt like Missouri scored a three for every mile the Gators traveled for Saturday night’s tilt.
The Tigers were lethal from downtown in a 91-75 win over the Gators. They made 12 of their 19 three-point attempts and converted on 62 percent of their field goals in the victory.
The blowout loss brought whatever momentum UF had through the first two games of conference play to a screeching halt.
The 91 points the Tigers scored were the most the Gators (10-5, 2-1 SEC) had given up in regulation not only all season but since a 96-91 loss to LSU in coach Mike White’s first season in Gainesville.
