It took a late cold snap by Arkansas to give a chance on Thursday to Texas Tech, which was down and out for 36 minutes until the Razorbacks went into one of their scoring draughts at the absolute worst time. The Red Raiders rallied but it wasn't an offensive clinic by any means, and efforts on the attack-end in the Dance have been inconsistent. From the 46 triples against UNCW in the first round to officials letting Tech get away with some rough stuff vs. Drake and another 8 for 32 from deep vs. Arkansas on the Sweet 16, Grant McCasland's offense isn't exactly firing on all cylinders. We suspect the Gators got the yips out of their system in the nervous second-round win over UConn, as all the cylinders were firing in Thursday's romp past a Maryland side just as dangerous as Texas Tech. Attacking from all angles with six double-digits scorers on Thursday led by G Will Richard's 15 points, it was Florida at its best, and this nine-game win streak vs. Big Dance entries, scoring 86 or more eight times in that span, suggests Florida is peaking at exactly the right time.
