Florida scored 100 points in their NCAA tournament opener Friday. It wasn't enough.
Colorado blew a late 13-point lead then saw junior guard KJ Simpson stun the Gators with a game-winning jumper that bounced around the rim and in to secure a 102-100 thriller for the Buffaloes.
Colorado led 94-81 with 4:30 remaining. But Florida mounted a 19-6 to rally tie the game on a Walter Clayton Jr. 3-pointer with 9.5 seconds remaining.
