And for some portion of the next 24 hours, they might be walking on air.
How else is there to feel, after Florida rallied from three separate 13-point deficits and got a thrilling last-second three from Andrew Nembhard to knock off SEC champion LSU in the SEC Tournament quarterfinal that served as the conclusion to a classic trilogy of close games between the teams this year?
What Florida had to do to get there was almost as impressive as Nembhard draining his third three of the day to cap a 20-point performance.
The Gators looked largely outmatched by LSU, and especially its formidable front line, for most of the first half.
