A season ago, Florida entered its annual game against FSU with no momentum.
It was coming off a season-opening loss against Temple and was unranked, having to face the No. 6 Seminoles at home.
“Bad time to play Florida State,” guard Simone Westbrook said at the time.
The Gators won.
Despite trailing by as many as six in the fourth quarter, UF had built a 10-point lead by the end of the game.
But facing the No. 7 Seminoles on Thursday night, the No. 23 Gators (6-3) got dominated in the second half, leading to a 83-58 loss in Tallahassee.
