The streaks and zings from that distinctive tattooed arm are over. Florida point guard Chris Chiozza will never again heave and toss passes or shoot and make buzzer beaters in a Gators uniform following UF’s 66-69 loss to Texas Tech in Saturday’s second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Coach Mike White was adamant that Florida’s offense flowed through Chiozza this season, and Chiozza’s team-leading 208 assists back him up.
“At times, we have been stagnant with him out of the game,” White said. “We’re gonna miss him dearly.”
So with Chiozza, the team’s third-leading scorer, out of eligibility, where does UF turn to try and replace his production?
