The University of Florida men’s team gave college basketball fans a glimpse into the crazy finishes that encompass the NCAA Tournament as March Madness takes flight next week.
The Gators battled LSU, the SEC’s regular-season champion, down to the final seconds for a third time this season. But unlike the previous two meetings, Friday’s SEC tournament quarterfinal didn’t need overtime to settle the score.
Rather, UF earned victory in the rubber game of the three-game series in regulation behind late-game heroics.
Andrew Nembhard dropped the game-winning three-pointer with one second left, and LSU couldn’t get a final shot off.
