COLLEGE BASKETBALL PREP ROUNDUP UF falters late in loss TOURNEY CHAMPS to Utah St.

By STEVEN WINE Associated Press

SUNRISE, Fla. — Utah State didn’t give up a field goal in the first 10 minutes Saturday and still led by only four points, which was enough to make coach Craig Smith rub his jaw in disbelief. “The start,” he said, “was a little bit of a root canal.” Pain relief came soon enough for the Aggies. They shot 50 percent in the second half, including 5 for 12 from 3-point range, and held Florida without a field goal for six minutes down the stretch to win 65-62 in the Orange Bowl Classic. Florida (7-4) continued to struggle after being ranked sixth in the preseason. The Gators missed their first 14 shots, and missed seven in a row in the final minutes after taking a 55-54 lead. But coach Mike White saw offensive progress. “We got a little better today,” White said. “We had a chance to beat a really good team — as good a team as we’ll play this season.” Sam Merrill led the Aggies (12-2) with 21 points, nine rebounds and five assists. He went 5 for 10 from 3-point range. “Sam Merrill was absolutely outstand- ing,” Smith said. “He set everything up for us.” Senior Kerry Blackshear led Florida with 22 points and a career-high 14 rebounds. He went 15 for 17 from the free throw line. The Gators out-rebounded the tallest team in the nation 41-33 but shot only 32 percent, including 4 for 17 from 3-point range. Eight players missed before Florida finally sank a shot. “We got good looks,” Blackshear said. “You’ve got to keep shooting.” Florida continues to be a puzzle with an offense that has failed to top 70 points seven COURTESY times.
