Jon Horford tallied nine points and Jacob Kurtz set a personal best with a game-high 13 rebounds for the Gators, who blew a big second-half lead for the second consecutive game.

Tylor Ongwae totaled 19 points to pace the offense for ULM (2-1), and Nick Coppola added 11 points. Majok Deng grabbed a career-best nine rebounds for the Warhawks, who nearly followed a school-record 67-point win over Division II Champion Baptist with an upset of one the nation's most prominent programs.

After trailing at halftime 29-27, Florida fell behind by as many as six in the second half before before 15 unanswered points, including seven from Frazier, helped the Gators establish a 44-35 lead with 8:23 to play. Coppola and Jamaal Samuel each hit 3-pointers to help the Warhawks pull back within 46-41, and after a pair of free throws from Frazier pushed Florida back ahead 51-43, ULM ran off eight straight points, tying the game on a 3-pointer by Coppola to force overtime.

In the extra frame, a dunk from Horford broke a 54-54 tie and a pair of free throws from Kasey Hill staked the Gators to a 58-54 lead. Ongwae converted a layup and drew a foul on Kurtz to pull the Warhawks back to within 58-56 with 21 seconds to play but, after he couldn't complete the three-point play, Hill, Chiozza and Frazier helped Florida seal the game at the free-throw line.
