Defensive Adjustments Help Florida Win 68-54 Over Georgia

It wasn’t quite the miracle comeback the Gators needed in their first game against Georgia this season but they did need to claw back from a 13-point deficit early and once they equaled the score it was smooth sailing from there as Florida ended up with a relatively smooth 68-54 win. That score isn’t an entirely accurate representation of a game where Florida trailed at halftime by 2 but it speaks to their second half adjustments that handcuffed Georgia’s offense as well as a dedication to getting Noah Locke open looks and those changes both yielded positive results. With the win the Gators have secured a top-4 seed in the SEC Tournament, giving them a double bye and a chance to get some extra rest before trying to better their NCAA Tournament resume.
