In a heart-stopping second-round game, the Florida Gators pulled off an epic upset against the two-time defending champion UConn Huskies, crushing their dreams of a historic three-peat with a razor-thin 77-75 victory.

The Clutch Moment

Enter Walter Clayton Jr., the Gators’ first-team All-America guard who turned the game on its head in the final eight minutes. This absolute legend scored 13 of his 23 points when it mattered most, drilling two crucial 3-pointers that left UConn fans in shock.

David vs. Goliath Vibes

UConn came into the game as the underdog, but they were no pushover. They led for most of the second half, showing the grit that earned them back-to-back national championships. But Florida’s late-game magic proved too powerful, with a 14-3 run that sealed the deal.

The Aftermath

Coach Todd Golden’s Florida squad is officially back on the March Madness map, advancing to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2017. For UConn’s Coach Dan Hurley, the moment was bittersweet - barely holding back tears during the post-game press conference as his team’s historic run came to an end.
