Florida did everything in its power to come back for what would've been a big road win at South Carolina on Saturday. It rallied from a 30-13 hole to lead 33-30 at halftime, and 35-30 in the second half. It pushed that lead to six points in the second half, and met every South Carolina surge with counterpunches, doing what was necessary to get to overtime.
But the Gators didn't have enough to hold the lead for long at any point, nor enough to hold a lead or take it back in overtime. And so they lost, 73-69, and remain dangerously close to the NCAA Tournament bubble.
