Florida Gators basketball defeats Arkansas 68-61

In their first game of the SEC tournament against the Arkansas Razorbacks, the Florida Gators men’s basketball team took a 68-61 win and will continue on in the tournament.

The first half moved at a glacial pace as the first basket was not made until three minutes into the game. It did not pick up much from there as two more minutes passed and the score stood at just 4-2 in favor of Arkansas with 15:21 to go in the first half.

It wasn’t until after the first media timeout that Arkansas was able to come out with a quick slam-dunk by Moses Kingsley, which prompted Gator head coach Mike White to call a timeout and get his team under control.
