Florida took Houston’s leading striker Lj Cryer with 19 points and recorded the ball and turned the ball upside down. At the other end of the floor, 63-62 down Florida was desperate for a bucket, he fouled by Alijah Martin Tugler and went to the free throws with the potential to lead 46 seconds before an hour.
Martin with ice in his veins, 64-63 buried both Charity strips to get ahead. Florida’s defense, which needed another stop, led Houston to shake the ball from the knee of Emanuel Sharp and went out of the borders 26 seconds before.
Denzel Aberdeen would finally foul the shooting time, but only one of the two free throw attempts. In other words, at 65-63, Houston had the chance to connect the game or win all of them with three pointers.
For Florida, the best defense ownership of the night came at a perfect moment, because Houston couldn’t get the script games, and Sharp finally left five seconds, but he dropped the ball while jumping a good closing.

Keskin was not allowed to touch the ball due to the double fluttering rule, and as the clock moved down, a struggle for the ball led to the blowing of the last horror and the celebration of Gars.
In the second half, it was a difficult look for Cougars because they had a 12 -point ahead at one point. In addition, Florida was only 37.9% of the three-point regions, including 14.9% of the circuit leaders at 31-28 after shooting.
Grant’s leading scorer Walter Clayton, 18.5 points per match 18.5 points, 18.5 points, was held in the first half without a score.
However, Clayton will eventually fall 11 in the second half, while Alex Condon (12 points, seven rebounds, four steals) and the team’s leading striker Will Richard were very important with 18 points, eight rebounds and two assists.
