Final: Florida defeats UConn 77-75
How Florida won: Dan Hurley said after Friday’s opening-round win that “someone’s going to have to put us down” for the UConn Huskies to exit the tournament before winning a third straight national title. On Sunday, Walter Clayton Jr. proved to be that someone. Clayton scored 10 points in a three-minute span, turning a 59-58 Florida deficit into a 77-75 win to secure a spot in the Sweet 16 and snap UConn’s 13-game tournament winning streak. Clayton didn’t make his first bucket of the game until 15 minutes had already elapsed, but once he got hot, he was unstoppable. He finished with 23 points — leading all scorers — including 15 in the second half, draining all three of his second-half 3-point attempts in the process. Clayton’s 3 with 2:54 remaining was the dagger, erasing a two-point UConn lead. Florida never looked back. — David Hale
