Rueben Chinyelu had a career-high 19 points to go with 13 rebounds and No. 2 Florida roared back from an eight-point second-half deficit to beat LSU 79-65.

Florida's Big 3 struggled on Saturday and LSU took advantage at the end of the first half, but a strong night from the frontcourt led to a Gators win.

Just as remarkably as they found the bottom of the net, the Tigers repeatedly forced Florida to pick up its dribble prematurely. Florida was uncomfortable with the LSU’s activity which helped LSU get a 22-2 run to close the final seven minutes. The Tigers entered halftime leading 37-31. Miller had 12 points and made 2 3-pointers for the first time.
