SF State trailed by 10 with 13 minutes to go. Donovan Cooks and Caleb Oden each had a steal that led to a layup, then Oden had a steal and Bakke finished the fast break that cut the lead to four with 11:36 to go. Still down four with 10 minutes to go, Murphy hit a three-pointer. Kerr followed with a jumper and Harris hit a fast-break three-pointer that pushed the deficit back to 12 and forced a Gators timeout. SF State would get no closer than 10 the rest of the way.
