The Florida Gators have won nine straight games against the Georgia Bulldogs in basketball. Saturday’s victory was the toughest of them all — though it was not supposed to be.
Oh, the ‘Dawgs never led. And Florida scored a total of 102 points.
But it was one of those games where exhaling felt like a relief. A stressful final 10 minutes of the second half plus an overtime frame put the Gator Nation on the edge of their seats.
The good news is that Florida pulled out a 102-98 win despite allowing 35 points to RJ Melendez and 54 points in the paint by the Bulldogs.
Where do we start with the five takeaways from Florida-Georgia?
