The Florida Gators came into Sunday’s showdown with the Florida State Seminoles with their best chance yet to turn around a rivalry that the school out west had put in a chokehold in recent years.
Instead, the Seminoles’ grip on the series only tightened.
FSU held Florida to a miserable 28 percent shooting from the floor and a woeful 18 percent from three and built a durable double-digit lead en route to a 63-51 win that leaves Mike White and his players with egg on their faces and a massive amount of work to do.
