On a cold day in Columbia, Missouri, Florida came out hot — even without frequent flamethrower Tyree Appleby.
When the Gators cooled off and Appleby reappeared, the game became, at first, a familiar case of him trying to do too much.
But when Florida needed him most, Appleby provided all of what the Gators required — and it wasn’t fancy like anything he’s done before, but it was enough to yank a 66-65 victory out of the jaws of defeat.
Appleby scored all of his 17 points in the second half and 10 of them — including eight at the line and a go-ahead freebie with 7.
