A few days late, but…
Florida 86
Ohio State 60
Actually, this game wasn’t nearly as fun to watch as the Florida 80-82 loss to Kansas, which was a terrific, hard-fought game which came down to a last-second shot in OT. But it was hard not to be happy about the result. The Gators’ 33-9 run in the second half was reminiscent of their play in the NCAAs last year, when second-half runs keyed victories over Villanova and George Mason. Florida proved that when they are playing well, they will be very hard to beat.
Also, did anyone hear Don Shula blast Alabama during tonight’s Dolphins-Jets tilt? Wow. I agree with him–Bama’s firing of Shula was stupid, and has made their position almost impossible to fill–but I was still surprised to hear him go after them on national TV.
