After his team claimed the opening tip-off, Auburn guard Mustapha Heron started driving toward the basket from the right side before stopping to make a pass through the paint. The ball never reached its target.
Instead, Florida forward Dontay Bassett intercepted the pass, knocking it into the hands of guard Chris Chiozza.
Bassett wasn’t done there. On the other end of the court, guard Jalen Hudson found Bassett on the inside, who broke free of his defender and dunked the ball uncontested.
The first two possessions of the game foreshadowed the kind of night Bassett would have in the Gators men’s basketball team’s 72-66 win over No.
