Great win for the Gators.

I was worried there for a bit. Lucas hit that big three just before the half giving the Gators momentum. I like how they were able to finish Bama out. Things looked good.

Final score was like 90-83

I did not see the 2nd half. It was a great win for the Gators. I really thought they were going to lose after watching the 1st half.
