Eighteen points in five minutes.
When Florida’s women’s basketball team faced No. 21 Arkansas on the road Sunday, the Razorbacks concluded the first quarter on an 18-2 run. It put them up 26-13, and ultimately propelled Arkansas over the Gators at Bud Walton Arena 79-57.
It became obvious during that first-quarter spurt, but UF’s inability to keep up with Arkansas’ speed up and down the court killed any chances the Gators had of staying competitive in the game. Razorbacks guard A’Tyanna Gaulden consistently pushed the ball up the floor every time Florida missed a field goal or turned it over.
