The Florida Gators Beat Arizona State 70-57 To Reach NIT Semifinals


The Gators, the two-time defending NCAA champions, watched an early 17-3 lead evaporate, falling behind on Jerren Shipp's 3-pointer with 13:30 to go. But Florida (24-11) responded with a 15-6 run and put the game away on Parsons' 3-pointer with 2:32 to play. It's hard to imagine seeing the Gators only playing in the NIT tournament instead of contending for a National Championship title. But when you lose four of your starters from the championship team its a little easier to picture. The Gators will play Massachusetts in the semifinals in Madison Square Garden on April 1.
