Allen keys late surge, Florida rallies to beat Mizzou 64-60

KeVaughn Allen scored 17 points, Keyontae Johnson added 13 and Florida overcame a 12-point deficit in the second half to beat Missouri 64-60 on Saturday.

The Gators won their fourth consecutive game — the team’s longest streak of the season — and continued to strengthen their NCAA Tournament resume down the stretch.

Coming off consecutive road wins at Alabama and No. 13 LSU, Florida (16-11, 8-6 Southeastern Conference) looked nothing like the same team in the first half. Coach Mike White’s guys shot 30 percent in the opening 20 minutes, had just two assists and trailed by nine.
