For much of the game Florida was crisp offensively but when they were in dire need of makes late in the second half they went ice cold allowing South Carolina to hold on for a 72-66 win. Florida had opportunities to come back as the Gamecocks missed shots and the front end of a key one and one but Florida was unable to capitalize with a pair of missed free throws from Tyree Appleby and some desperation jumpers from Tre Mann that couldn’t find the net. Leading for most of the game the Gators were looking somewhat comfortable but were never able to stretch the margin and a frantic series of buckets by the Gamecocks with under 4 minutes left was ultimately the difference.
South Carolina Too Much For Florida Basketball
