For a while, it looked like the Gators might finally win a game without all of the stress and late-game drama against Georgia on Wednesday night.
After coming from behind in the second half to win each of their previous three games, the Gators got off to a scorching hot start offensively and shot 54 percent in the first half. They led by 16 points with 6:38 to go before halftime.
Eventually, though, the Gators’ in-game inconsistencies reared their ugly head again. Georgia cut the lead to 38-30 at halftime and battled back from a 13-point deficit with six minutes remaining in the game.
