Emotions still high in wee hours Saturday

NEW YORK CITY — This won’t come as a surprise, but Chris Chiozza had a difficult time falling asleep Saturday morning.

The Gator basketball team didn’t get back to its hotel until around 2:30 a.m. after its late night at Madison Square Garden and Chiozza’s game-winning shot.

So he watched a movie — “Neighbors.”

Not the awful one from the 1980s, but the more recent one with Seth Rogan.

As a result, he was a sleepy-eyed hero Saturday as the Gators hit the court for a practice in between their Sweet 16 miracle and the Elite Eight game against South Carolina.
