In sports there are times when the crowd knows there is a comeback on its way. There are times when an underdog David topples a green-and-gold Goliath.
This was not one of those times.
Despite the buildup, David couldn’t make a three-pointer.
With a sold-out crowd at the O’Connell Center in Gainesville bearing witness, the Florida men’s basketball team lost to No. 1 Baylor 72-61 on Saturday night.
The game started well for an unranked Florida squad that was coming off a heartbreaking loss to LSU on Tuesday. A loss where forward Keyontae Johnson’s layup didn’t count in the winding milliseconds; leading to a long trip back home to Gainesville.
