Gators beat Washington 86-84 back on 11.25.08

This was an early season tourney called the CBE Classic in Kansas City, MO. Florida and UW were playing the consolation game after losses. Florida (then ranked #17) lost a close game to Syracuse. Washington had previously got hammered by Kansas.

Florida won the game 86-84. I know that was too early in the season, but I am feeling a little more wooly now.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)-Washington's Jon Brockman squeezed between two Florida players, tracked down teammate Isaiah Thomas' missed free throw and flipped up a fadeaway from the corner at the buzzer.

It came up just short-and Florida's bench let out a collective sigh of relief.

Nick Calathes scored 15 of his 21 points in the second half and No. 17 Florida held off a late rally to beat Washington 86-84 Tuesday night in the consolation game of the CBE Classic.

Well, they beat Washington State by 20 and Washington State beat us. Regardless, both teams are playing much differently than they were early in the season.
