The Florida Gators won a close game last night over the Alabama Crimson Tide by a final score of 66-65. It’s refreshing to get back on the winning track, but a little scary that they had a tough time with Alabama … who just isn’t very good. The Gators are now 16-6 overall and 5-3 in the SEC, holding steady at 4th place in the SEC East.

The Gators, once again, had a big game out of point guard Erving Walker. He scored 14 points in the second half, including a jumper with 11 seconds left. Bama had no timeouts left and couldn’t go down the court and make a shot. Here’s a video of the final plays of the game for those of you who didn’t see it.

Other notes from the game:
- Erving Walker had 16 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists
- Alex Tyus was 8-10 in FGs and led the Gators with 19 points and 7 rebounds
- Kenny Boynton added 15 points, 6 rebounds

Florida returns home to face Mississippi State on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. in the O’Connell Center.
