For the fifth straight game, a slow start forced the Florida Gators to rally with ferocity — and for the fifth straight game, they did.
Two of those games, though, have been against a Texas A&M team tougher than titanium, and Wednesday night’s game going the Aggies’ way by a 54-52 count is yet more evidence that Florida’s formula is only so potent.
The Gators tested the limits of that framework in this one, too, making just two of their 26 first-half shots — an atrocious eight percent — and going into halftime down 23-12 as a result.
