Everything Mike White said after Florida’s upset loss to Oral Roberts

Florida’s 2020-21 season came to an end in stunning fashion on Sunday, as the No. 7 seed Gators blew an 11-point lead with just under 10 minutes left against No. 15 seed Oral Roberts. Tre Mann and Scottie Lewis missed game-tying attempts with less than 10 seconds remaining in the game, but both missed the mark and the Golden Eagles sealed the game with a rebound to win 81-78.

It was a shocking loss for Florida, especially how it took place. The Gators controlled the vast majority of the second half, and Oral Roberts showed almost no signs of making a run until a few minutes remained in the game. Nonetheless, Florida will head home without a berth in the Sweet 16.
