The game looked as if it was going to overtime.
Kevarrius Hayes had made his second free-throw attempt with 3.5 seconds to tie the game against South Carolina. All Florida had to do was not allow any Gamecocks players to get open.
The Gators made the mistake of letting forward Chris Silva get behind them.
South Carolina forward Felipe Haase threw a hail mary in desperation, finding Silva open behind the Gators defense with enough time to dunk the ball and secure the 71-69 win Saturday night in the O’Connell Center.
