It doesn’t take a genius to figure out how the Gators lost to No. 15 Alabama in their SEC opener on Wednesday. Everything you need to know about the game can be found in three statistical categories.
First, Florida turned the ball over 20 times, which Alabama converted into 21 points. Alabama only turned it over 12 times.
Second, the Crimson Tide hauled down 20 offensive rebounds, while the Gators only obtained 15 second-chance opportunities.
Those two statistical categories led to an astonishing discrepancy in the number of shot attempts. Alabama shot the ball 72 times, while Florida only got off 52 shots.
