Todd Golden and the Florida Gators overcame a furious second-half rally by Mike White’s Georgia Bulldogs inside the O’Connell Center to earn a 102-98 overtime win on Saturday. At one point, the Orange and Blue held a 21-point lead but that all evaporated in the final 10 minutes.
For 30 minutes, Florida was firing on all cylinders and looked to cruise to their third-straight victory and fourth in Southeastern Conference play this year. Unfortunately, the late letdown that has plagued the team this season once again reared its ugly head, making things far too close for comfort.
Following the triumph over the program’s most fierce rivals, Golden spoke to the media about his thoughts on Saturday afternoon’s outcome. Take a look below to see what he had to say.
