Washington’s game-winning shot lifts Florida over Alabama

Florida guard Delicia Washington had been there before.

For the second time in a month, she had the ball in her hands in a tied game with just seconds remaining.

Washington calmly called a play from the top of the key off an offensive rebound. Forward Zada Williams set a pick.

Washington took a couple steps towards the basket with a handful of dribbles, then pulled up from just behind the free throw line.

For the second time in a month, she delivered.

Washington’s jumper gave UF a two-point lead with just 15 seconds left that it did not relinquish.
