It wasn’t the prettiest showing Florida could have hoped for after a humbling loss to Kentucky on Saturday, but the Gators got it done against Ole Miss by making shots when it mattered.
Florida defeated the Rebels 77-72 Tuesday night in the O’Connell Center, with five players scoring in double figures. In doing so, the Gators swept the two-game regular-season series against Ole Miss.
Turnovers, sloppy plays and the typical missed shots hindered Florida’s production on offense, but the Gators made up for it with offensive rebounds, hustle in the paint and timely scoring.
Dorian Finney-Smith led Florida (16-8, 7-4 Southeastern Conference) with 16 points and six rebounds.
