Florida Looks Much Improved In 78-58 Win Over Miami

Florida started the first half executing their offense with the most precision we’ve seen this year but Miami stayed in the game with some tough makes on ridiculously hard shots, something that wasn’t going to last for 40 minutes. In the second frame the Gators continued to put points on the board while the Hurricanes struggled on the other end and ultimately it led to Florida’s blowout win. The Gators will now take on the winner of Xavier and UConn on Sunday night, a game they should be well prepared for.
