If you want to beat good teams you need your best players to be your best players and Chris Chiozza, KeVaughn Allen, Jalen Hudson, and Egor Koulechov all played excellent basketball leading to the victory. Chiozza (8 points, 12 assists) was dishing the ball immaculately, Allen was hitting big time threes, Hudson was creating offense when needed and Koulechov was hustling for loose balls and it all amounted to another marquee win for the Gators. The illusive 3-ball was good to the Gators tonight as they went 13-27 (48%) from behind the arc and it ultimately was enough to power them through to the win. This game was big for the Gators in the SEC standings as well as for the NCAA Tournament recipe and hopefully they can build off this as they finish the season.
