March Madness 2025: Florida advances to Final Four in wild comeback win over Texas Tech

Florida trailed by nine points with 3 minutes and 14 seconds to go, but Walter Clayton Jr. and Thomas Haugh hit a series of miraculous 3-pointers to lead the Gators to an 84-79 win over the Texas Tech Raiders and advance to the Final Four.

The comeback began after a missed 3-pointer from Clayton when Haugh came up with an offensive rebound and drained a third long-range shot of the night. Haugh fouled Darrion Williams near half court, but the Rebels' big man missed the first of a one-and-one, giving the ball right back to Haugh for another big 3-pointer.
