Florida basketball earned its seventh win in 11 tries against Southeastern Conference opponents on Tuesday night with an 82-80 victory over the LSU Tigers inside the O’Connell Center.
However, once again the Gators attempted to seize defeat from the jaws of victory, squandering a 20-point advantage and allowing the visitors to tie the game with just over 90 seconds remaining. This is a trend that has been witnessed far too often this season and the fanbase is growing quite weary of it.
Head coach Todd Golden is also frustrated with his team’s late-game proclivity for collapse. He spoke with the sports media after the game about that topic and more.
