Noah Locke made a basket and Omar Payne dunked one home on Florida’s next possession to give the No. 6 Florida Gators a three-point lead as the game went into the under 12 timeout.
It was the first time the Florida Gators have had a lead against FSU at a media timeout in three years. It would also be short-lived. The Noles would retake the lead with 2:04 left before halftime and never give it back. For the sixth straight time, the Gators lost to the Noles and the last two contents haven’t even been close.
This loss feels different.
