Gators show killer instinct, knock out St. Bonaventure in NCAA Tournament opener

Mike White has talked about this Florida team lacking fight. He said sometimes he wishes this team would get just mad and take some initiative.

Finally, Jalen Hudson offered up the elusive killer instinct.

Hudson’s monster put-back dunk with eight minutes left against St. Bonaventure put an exclamation point on a dominant second half, helping No. 6 seed UF dispatch No. 11 seed St. Bonaventure 77-62 during an NCAA Tournament game at America Airlines Center late Thursday night.

White preached all week the Gators needed to show some gumption and they finally did against the Bonnies.
