BYU now holds a 32-30 advantage against Florida with just under three minutes left in the first half. The Gators, who were shooting over 80 percent early on, have fallen to 50 percent overall, while BYU has come back to tie the rebounding total and has half as many turnovers as Florida, 10 to five.
Florida Vs. BYU Score: Cougars Take First Sweet 16 Lead Against Gators
Jimmer Fredette is trying to draw fouls, but Florida’s doing a good job of staying planted during his pump fakes. It’s led to several moments tonight in which Fredette tries to initiate a foul, but just ends up bumping against a steadfast Gators defender before uncorking a wild shot that, yeah, would usually go in.
With three minutes to go, Fredette had yet to shoot a free throw and has still hit only one shot. He added a gallop around the entire half court that concluded with a lefty layup to double his point total. He now has six.
