- On an unspecified date, the Florida Gators defeated the Alabama Crimson Tide in the SEC semifinals after outscoring them 61-40 following Grant Nelson's departure.

- Florida's offense was highly efficient, shooting 51.4 percent from the field and making 12 of 27 three-point attempts, while Alabama shot 41.8 percent from the field and hit 11 of 35 three-point attempts.
- With 9:27 remaining and the score at 80-59, Richard's 3-pointer pushed Florida's lead over 20, and Aberdeen's trey with 1:45 left brought the Gators over 100 points, effectively ending the suspense.
- Reuben Chinyelu contributed 10 points for Florida but fouled out during the game.
