The final score of 100-77 tells the story of a second half that was never remotely close, and Florida (16-6, 7-2) was more than happy to push the pace late in search of cracking the 100-point mark. In fact, it was Olivier Rioux, a 7-foot-9 behemoth off the bench, who pushed the Gators into triple digits.
As right as things went for Florida was as wrong as things went for Alabama. Despite making 14 3-pointers on 34 attempts, it lost the turnover battle 18-2, was outscored 25-0 on points off turnovers and was bludgeoned in the painted area -- much like it has been all season.
