The No. 4 Florida Gators found themselves in unfamiliar territory for a midweek matchup — a one-run contest in the top of the sixth inning.
There’s about 53 hours until Florida basketball will tip off in the NCAA Tournament. That includes three and a half hours of flights, a little over 40 minutes of bus travel and maybe a 12-hour hotel stay near the Lenovo Center in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Then, another defender picked her up.

That would come on the softball diamond.
Florida senior guard Walter Clayton Jr. stood at the SEC logo near half court — a place on the hardwood where he’s continuously sunk mesmerizing 3-pointers this season. However, this time around, the first-team All-American fulfilled a different role.
