To say Florida survived a game that looked like a blowout Tuesday night would be like saying a few people watched the Super Bowl.
Against a team that has now lost six of seven games, Florida made it six wins in seven tries.
But not without a ton of drama.
The Gators pulled out an 82-80 win over LSU to run its record to 17-7 and 7-4 in the SEC.
The Tigers rallied all the way back from a 20-point deficit (sound familiar?) to tie the game. But a huge steal by Zyon Pullin – or as I call him “The Glue” — and layup by Walter Clayton Jr. gave Florida what turned out to be the winning points with 20.4 seconds to play.
“Unfortunately, it has become an issue for us,” said Florida coach Todd Golden. “But at the end of the day, we’ll take the win and move on.”
The Five Takeaways isn’t sure how to feel about this one. But a win is a win.
