By: Eric Fawcett -- December 17, 2024 The Gators flirted with disaster after dominating the first half of the Jumpman Invitational in Charlotte but ultimately was able to out-execute their opponent in the final minute of the game coming away with a 90-84 win over North Carolina. For the first twenty minutes of the game it was looking like the Gators were set to have yet another dominant double digit win, building up a lead that was as big as 17 points at one time. Coming out of the intermission the Tar Heels punched back and got back into the game, actually taking a two possession lead with just a few minutes remaining. Florida was then able to claw their way back and win the final few possessions and ultimately the game coming away with a victory that was a bit too close for comfort. The Gators remain unscathed as they improved to 11-0 on the season. Gators Hold On For Gritty Win Over Tar Heels | GatorCountry.com
We are fourth nationally in offensive rebounding percentage. Pretty sure this wasn't just because UNC is small.
True, the other 10 teams we beat were not small. We have been a great rebounding team on the offensive side thus far.
