As Keenan Evans’ pass soared through the air, the hopes of the Gators men’s basketball team advancing to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament flew with it.
Texas Tech guard Zhaire Smith dunked the ball in the final minute of the game, completing the alley-oop and crushing Florida’s chances of another deep postseason run.
This time, there was no heroic buzzer-beating shot. There were no celebration from the Gators. In the second round of the NCAA Tournament, Florida fell to Texas Tech 69-66 in Dallas, ending the Gators’ 2017-18 season.
