GAINESVILLE, Fla. • With Missouri already trailing Florida by more than 25 points in the first half, Reed Nikko stole the ball from Kasey Hill and passed to Jordan Geist.
The sophomore guard raced to the basket with no one in his path and went up to make what should have been a surefire layup.
In and out.
Two offensive rebounds from K.J. Walton and two missed jump shots later, Missouri turned the ball over. No points.
It was that kind of night for the Tigers, who fell 93-54 to the No. 24 Gators on Thursday at UF’s Exactech Arena.
