Going into Friday night, it was pretty clear that Prairie View A&M wasn't going to have much of a chance against the Gators and that story played out in the first half after Florida decided to get serious after the Panthers pulled to a 15-15 tie.
The Gators had runs of 18-0, 17-0 and 10-0 in the half and when the smoke cleared they were up 60-21 and erased any remote chance of the most unlikely upset in tournament history. But with nowhere else to turn, Prairie View coach Byron Smith looked to a higher power.
