After channeling his inner Vince Lombardi, coach Mike White inspired his team to a quick 7-0 run out of the locker room, tying the game at 39, forcing Alabama into an early timeout.
Then, guard Scottie Lewis picked up his fourth foul.
Without their Jersey-born talisman, the Gators struggled and were ultimately overwhelmed by the size and physicality of the Crimson Tide, losing 86-71 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Tuesday night.
