The Gators have been holding their breath for Jalen Hudson to breakout like he did on Wednesday, but on a night he put up 33 points, Florida needed him to score 35.
No loss this season has left the Gators as heartbroken as the 79-78 overtime final to LSU in the O’Dome.
Twice, Florida found itself down a point with the shot clock turned off and a chance to seal the deal.
The first came with 22.5 seconds left in regulation. Just seconds before, Hudson came up with a game-changing steal from Tremont Waters and took it down the court for a dunk.
