Junior point guard Chris Chiozza’s running 3-pointer at the buzzer lifted the Gators to an improbable 84-83 overtime win over Wisconsin in the Sweet 16 matchup at Madison Square Garden.

After Wisconsin senior forward Nigel Hayes hit a pair of free throws with four seconds left to put the Badgers up 83-81, Florida set up an under-basket play for Chiozza, who raced down the court and made a 20-footer as time expired Friday night/Saturday morning.
