TEMPE, AZ --- The wake-up call was a three-pointer by Jamelle McMillan from just left of the key with 11:02 remaining in the game. That put Arizona State up 50-48 on the Florida Gators and the rowdy crowd of 12,306 at Wells Fargo Arena must have felt like schooling sharks, ready to join in on a feeding frenzy that would bring Florida’s basketball season to an end. While the crowd was ready to blow the roof off the joint, the Gators were simply regaining their poise. Earlier in the year, this might have signaled the beginning of a run that would leave the Gators trailing by double figures. Wednesday night it was just the slap in the face the Gators needed.
