About four minutes into the second half of Tuesday afternoon’s game with the Stetson Hatters, the Florida Gators gave a clinic in open court basketball changing a narrow seven-point margin into a 22-point cushion that put the game on cruise control the rest of the way. Following a Walter Hodge three from the corner with 16:18 left in the game, the Gators turned on their full court press and ran it the way you draw it up on paper. By the time Alex Tyus ended the feeding frenzy with a pair of free throws with 14:20 remaining, the Gators had gone from shaky to dominating.
