Bulldog Beatdown: Poor shooting leads to Florida loss

After riding a rocket of momentum earlier in the week, Florida’s women’s basketball team fell back to earth on Thursday night.

Plagued mainly by poor shooting, the No. 20 Gators (14-3, 2-2 Southeastern Conference) dropped a disappointing 71-61 decision to the Georgia Bulldogs (13-4, 1-3 SEC) in the O’Connell Center.

The Gators started out strong by scoring the game’s first points. Beyond that, however, Georgia controlled the game from start to finish.

Florida’s normally high-octane offense, which averaged 85.3 points per game coming into Thursday’s matchup, was anything but potent against the Bulldogs.

From contested shots to open looks to desperation heaves, absolutely nothing was falling for Florida.
