GAINESVILLE, FL – Despite a slow start – in both this game and on the season – you should never count out the defending champions from Connecticut.
The Huskies trailed Florida by as many as 13 in the second half before rallying for a 63-59 win on Saturday afternoon.
Dorian Finney-Smith led all scorers with 19 for the Gators, but it wasn’t enough as four UConn players scored in double figures. Rodney Purvis had 11 points in just 21 minutes and was a big part of the champions’ late rally.
Kevin Lee and Will Perdue called the action on Westwood One Sports.
