NEW YORK — Earlier this college basketball season, Chris Chiozza was not playing well.
Not only was the Florida Gators back-up point guard not playing up to his potential, the 6-foot junior just wasn’t feeling good about himself. He thought he was letting his teammates down.
After one of his worst outings of the season during a home loss to Vanderbilt in January, a game in which he had played just 14 minutes and zeroes littered his line across the box score, Chiozza was perplexed. He was so down that he approached UF coach Mike White about his concerns.
