MS State win the tipoff

 

[Joseph Torviso]

Tolu Smith III off to a hot start for MS State. Four points and two rebounds

 

[Joseph Torviso]

Timeout. Both teams are shooting horrifically.

 

[Joseph Torviso]

Florida getting out rebounded 9-2. Coach Golden sent Condon and Kugel to get back into the game after MS State grabbed all those rebounds in succession.

 

[Joseph Torviso]

Silly turnover by the Gators. Good job by Clayton Jr to affect the dunk.

 

[Joseph Torviso]

Fans are not happy with that call on Zyon Pullin

 

[Joseph Torviso]

Timeout called. Pullin with seven of the Gators 10 points. He just picked up his second foul with 11:20 left in the half.

 

[Joseph Torviso]

If you thought the Gators couldn't hit free throws, MS State are currently 1-5 at the charity stripe.

 

[Joseph Torviso]

Handlogten with a massive block. MS State were moving the rock nicely, but he was there to save the day.

Bell Jr. entering the locker room. I think something may have happened to his eye? Not entirely sure.
