Gators have had some defensive lapses the last few minutes - failing to box out, completely unguarding an Aggie. However, their offense has been so damn good that they're up seven right now. Florida has also logged seven assists, so creating opportunities has been extremely crucial up to this point.

#Gators Walter Clayton had his 51st straight game with a three after landing one less than a minute into the contest.

He's made a three in every game in a Florida uniform besides one - against Quinnipiac. He played just 21 minutes that game and had one three-point attempt.

Florida missed eight straight threes before Martin buried that last attempt heading into the break. Aggies are shooting just 41% from the field and have four fewer made shots than the Gators. They're also losing the rebound battle, which was a huge emphasis heading into this contest for UF.

Micah Handlogten has played extremely well down the stretch and done his job of protecting the paint.

Rueben Chinyelu hasn't touched the court since the 17-minute mark when he was subbed out after committing two fouls.

The Gators were nearly perfect in the first half. Florida had 11 points off of turnovers, tallied 12 assists and nailed eight three pointers. Alijah Martin leads the Gators with 12 points, all of which he earned beyond the arc.

Both teams are struggling tremendously right now from the field. Aggies haven't made a basket in two minutes, and Florida is 1-of-7 and hasn't made a shot in four attempts.

The Aggies have made it a single-digit contest yet again. A-Mart and Clayton are performing poorly right now and have combined for zero points this half on five missed shots. Will Richard is picking up the slack with eight points, but overall Florida's offense is stinking it up right now.

This might be Micah Handlogten's best game so far this season. There is a reason Rueben Chinyelu has just seven minutes tonight.

The 7-footer has six rebounds (2 OR), two assists, two blocks and two steals. He's done a great job off sealing off defenders and Aggies trying to earn second-chance opportunities.

Aggies have landed four of their last five FG attempts. Wade Taylor, who came into the contest averaging 15 PPG, has been a non-factor so far for TAMU. He has just seven points on two made shots.
