Nelson powers No. 13 Alabama to 98-93, overtime win over No. 24 Florida

Associated Press  

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — With the outright Southeastern Conference lead in jeopardy, Alabama dug out of a double-digit hole before finally taking control in overtime. Alabama coach Nate Oats said he was “still not quite sure how we figured out how to win it.” “We’re figuring out ways to win games,” Oats said. “If you’re going to win league championships, which we’re obviously in the hunt for with five games left, these are the games that you’ve got to figure out ways to win when you don’t play well.” Aaron Estrada scored on a follow shot with 7 seconds left after Sam Walters kept the ball alive. Florida didn’t score in overtime until Clayton made a pair of free throws with 2:28 left, and he got two more on the next possession to pull the Gators within 92-89. “Even though we came up short tonight, I think our effort indicates that.” Alabama opened the extra period with two baskets by Estrada sandwiched around Griffen’s 3-pointer.
