GAINESVILLE, Fla. —Looking to avoid their first 0-3 SEC start since 1981, Florida put up a fight against 12th-ranked, red-hot LSU.
Too many easy baskets by the Tigers and too many missed free throws proved the Gators’ undoing during a crushing 64-58 defeat Wednesday night at the O’Connell Center.
A nip-and-tuck game down the stretch hinged on Florida missing 7 of its final 9 free throws to end 11 of 22 from the foul line.
