The Gators (15-7, 5-4 SEC) went up 66-64 with just over three minutes remaining in the game but it would the the last two Florida points of the game. A&M got one of two foul shots then a go-ahead field goal with 35 ticks left from Radford for the win. Florida took three contested shots in the final seconds but couldn't hit the bottom of the net.

The Gators were led by Zyon Pullin with 18 points and eight assists. Will Richard and Riley Kugel both chipped in 12 while Kugel had five rebounds and four assists.

Radford led the way in scoring for A&M (13-8, 4-4 SEC) and also pulled in five rebounds. Wade Taylor IV made only five of 18 shots for 15 points - going just 1-for-6 from 3-point land.
