A Thanksgiving hangover was on display at the O'Connell Center on Friday night.

Both Marshall and Florida came out misfiring, going a combined 0 of 12 from the floor.

but what was an ugly brick-fest in the first turned into an edge-of-your-seat, high-energy contest with under a minute to go.

Up two and with the ball, UF guard Andrew Nembhard dribbled into the paint.

A quick fade in the middle of the floor went up, and as the Black Friday crowd collectively held its breath, the ball found the bottom of the net.
