Arkansas 75, Florida 64: Gators’ rally can’t compensate for cold start
Matt Bush-USA TODAY Sports The Florida Gators trailed by 10 at halftime and by as many as 15 points in the second half against Arkansas ton Tuesday night.
And though they made a valiant run — coming all the way back to lead in that second half, albeit briefly — that deficit proved a hole too deep for the Gators to dig all the way out of in Bud Walton Arena, as they fell 75-64, in their first game in nearly two weeks.
Four Hogs scored at least 14 points, paced by Dayonte Davis’s 18, and Florida got double-digit scoring from just Tyree Appleby (16 points) and Colin Castleton (13 points off the bench) on a night when it shot 38 percent from the field and 19 percent from three.
