GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) - During warmups, Florida players wore T-shirts that read "We all we got." Right now, it looks like plenty.

Matt Walsh made a game-tying 3-pointer, then hit seven free throws down the stretch Wednesday night to lift Florida to its fourth straight win, 63-55 over Georgia.

Walsh led the Gators (18-8, 9-6 Southeastern Conference) with 22 points, a sweet answer to a troubling night in Athens two weeks ago for both himself and his team. Georgia fans heckled Walsh relentlessly during Florida's 76-62 loss, and the night got even worse when Georgia fans spilled onto the court to harass him some more after the game.

Things seemed to deteriorate further the next day when swingman Christian Drejer suddenly quit to play pro ball in Spain. Turns out, the Gators haven't lost since, and the T-shirts, the mantra and the us-against-the-world attitude have become a big part of their season.
