Will Baker and Jordan Wright each scored 16 points, while Tyrell Ward and Jalen Cook added 12 points to lead the Tigers (12-12, 4-7), who fell for the sixth time in seven games.
Samuel was fouled after retrieving an offensive rebound and converted one of two free throws with 38 seconds left to break the 78-all tie. Pullin made a steal, which led to Clayton’s basket and an 81-78 advantage with 20 seconds remaining. Wright made a layup for the Tigers with 11 seconds left, and Florida’s Alex Condon made one of two free throws for a two-point advantage with 9 seconds left. The Gators held on after Wright missed a shot from the lane just before the buzzer.
