Freshman Keyontae Johnson lifts Gators to 66-57 win over Vanderbilt

GAINESVILLE — Through an inconsistent season, Florida coach Mike White has been searching for his team to make winning plays down the stretch.

Freshman guard Keyontae Johnson and the rest of the Gators delivered against reeling Vanderbilt.

Johnson had 15 points, nine rebounds and came up with a big steal in the closing minutes, lifting Florida to a 66-57 win over Vanderbilt on Wednesday night.

With Florida holding a 57-52 lead, Johnson intercepted a pass with 2:05 remaining, was immediately fouled and made both free throws to put the Gators up 59-52.
