NEW ORLEANS -- By the second half's first few minutes, all was well in
Gator Nation again. Florida was ending each possession with an easy shot,
the overmatched guys on the other side were struggling just to take a shot.
The start of UF's national title defense, it was certain, wouldn't double as the
biggest upset in NCAA tournament history.
Down for long stretches of the first half against lowly Jackson State, the
Gators rallied to dominate the game's final 25 minutes and defeat the Tigers
112-69 in a first-round tournament game Friday at New Orleans Arena.
