Albany 61, Florida 59: Gators collapse down stretch in NCAA Tournament
A fine season comes to a bitter end.Thousands of miles from sunny Gainesville, the No. 5 Florida Gators had a double-digit lead entering the fourth quarter on No. 12 Albany. Then, in the heat of the Carrier Dome, the Gators wilted.
Florida scored just seven points in the fourth quarter, and just four in the final 8:05 of play — two of them on a layup with 0.4 seconds to go that actually sealed the Gators' fate — and collapsed to a 61-59 defeat at the hands of the Great Danes.
