Beal supplied a pair of treys and a layup during the burst, as the Gators
surged ahead, 58-49, with nine minutes remaining. Yet the back-and-forth
action would not cease. Vanderbilt replied with a 7-0 push of its own, making
it a two-point game on Jenkins' three-pointer.
Florida was still on top, 66-62, in the final minute when Walker penetrated
and found an open Boynton for three, stretching the margin to seven. But
Taylor answered on the other end with a step-back trey and the Commodores sent
Beal to the line with 38 seconds left.
Beal went 2-for-2, making it 71-65, and Brad Tinsley threw the ball away on
the Commodores' next possession, sealing their fate. Boynton capped the
scoring with two more free throws, as Florida finished 16-of-17 from the
