Wednesday’s game between the Florida Gators and Alabama Crimson Tide saw two of the hottest teams in the SEC facing off and while the Gators (18-8, 8-5 SEC) fought hard in a tough road environment their efforts ultimately came up short with the home Crimson Tide (19-7, 11-2 SEC) winning 98-93 in an overtime thriller.
