The Florida Gators didn’t erase all memories of their loss to Texas Southern on Monday by wiping the floor with North Florida on Wednesday in an 85-55 win.
But literally wiping the floor with hustle that helped overwhelm the Ospreys from the opening tip certainly seems like a step in the right direction.
Florida forced a season-high 28 turnovers — 21 of them steals, a truly massive number — and disrupted the UNF attack all night, controlling the game despite its offense taking some time to get humming after a 5-0 run in the game’s first 70 seconds and a push to get out to a 17-6 lead.
