The favored Florida Gators came up just short in overtime in a 74-71 loss to the Butler Bulldogs.
Florida lead most of the way but had trouble closing out Butler in the final minutes, a problem so many teams have had before with the Bulldogs.
The Gators too often found themselves chucking up three-point attempts early in the shot clock.
There was little doubt that Florida had the more talented players, but Butler had the better coach and smarter team. (Read More…)

The Florida Gators used clutch three-point shooting late in the game to get past the UCLA Bruins, 73-65.
Florida’s balanced scoring attack was a challenge for the defensive-minded Bruins.
The Gators finished with seven players who scored seven or more points in the contest. Erving Walker lead the team with 21 points.
Florida shot much better at the foul line and behind the three-point arc than UCLA, and that was the difference in the game. (Read More…)

Chandler Parsons nearly recorded a triple-double, finishing with 10 points, 10 assists and 7 rebounds.
The Gators allowed just 19 points in the first half in building a 24-point lead and rolled the rest of the way. (Read More…)

The Florida Gators came up well short in a 70-54 loss to the Kentucky Wildcats in the SEC title game.
Florida made a game of it in the first half, but it was all Kentucky and their young players after halftime.
The Gators really struggled with their shooting, which is partly due to Kentucky’s tough defense.
Despite the loss, Florida somehow earned a No. 2 seed in the NCAA tournament in the same bracket as the weakest No. 1. (Read More…)

Kenny Boynton lead the way with 21 points and four assists. Chander Parsons stuffed the stat sheet with 15 points, eight rebounds and seven assists.
The Gators shot well from the field and from the three-point line, but just not quite as good as the Wildcats.
Florida’s defense just wasn’t up to the challenge on this day, and they only forced six Kentucky turnovers. (Read More…)

The host Florida Gators needed overtime to get past the pesky Vanderbilt Commodores, 65-61.
Kenny Boynton knocked down a big three-point shot and then helped get a defensive stop to secure the win.
After hitting a three to put Florida up two, Boynton forced John Jenkins into shooting an air ball from behind the arc.
Boynton admitted after the game that he got a good piece of the shooter, but was lucky it wasn’t called a foul. (Read More…)
