By: Eric Fawcett -- January 30, 2025 It was January 22nd. Florida came into their matchup with South Carolina as heavy favorites, only to see themselves falling behind early and seeing the deficit grow, and grow, and grow. Then, the unexpected happened–the Gators sold out with a full court press. It was somewhat of a desperation move considering how much they had fallen behind–somewhat of a hail mary that was likely to fall through the hands of the receiver and fall harmlessly onto the turf. However, that wasn’t the case. Florida started first creating sloppy passes. Then, defelections. Before you knew it, they were creating full on steals that turned into layups on the other end. Suddenly the Gators found themselves back in the game on the back of the full court press, and they ultimately won. The Full Court Press Giving The Gators A New Tool | GatorCountry.com
