Florida’s shooting woes continue as Gators drop fourth straight SEC game
Funda Nakkasoglu, Florida's leading scorer with 15.2 points per game, struggled to put away buckets against Kentucky. She shot 3-of-15 from the field for 8 points.Trailing by two with less than seven seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, the Gators inbounded the ball in front of their bench. After a cross-court pass from forward Haley Lorenzen found guard Funda Nakkasoglu open on the right side of the court, Nakkasoglu attempted an off-balance three-pointer.
Her shot bounced off the left side of the backboard and ended Florida’s hopes of picking up it’s first SEC win of the season as UF came up short against Kentucky, 56-53, at the O’Connell Center on Thursday night.
