    TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) - Erving Walker scored 14 points in the
second half, including a jumper with 11 seconds left, to lift
Florida to a 66-65 victory over Alabama on Thursday night.
    With the Gators (16-6, 5-3 Southeastern Conference) ahead 64-60
and 1:59 left, Anthony Brock stole the ball from Walker and scored
on a three-point play. Mikhail Torrance’s jumper gave the Crimson
Tide (13-9, 3-5) a 65-64 lead with 42 seconds left.
    Walker missed a jumper, but teammate Kenny Boynton grabbed the
rebound. After a Florida timeout, Walker made next his shot to
finish with 16 points. Torrance missed a layup with 3 seconds left
and Alabama rebounded the ball. After a Crimson Tide timeout, Dan
Werner slapped the inbounds pass downcourt as time expired to hand
Alabama its third one-point SEC loss.
    Alex Tyus had 19 points to lead the Gators.
    Torrance had 22 points and five assists for Alabama.
