Overlooked and undersized, Chris Chiozza still comes out on top

All Chris Chiozza could do was watch.

With seven seconds left in the game and the Commodores’ Matthew Fisher-Davis guarding him at the hip, Florida guard KeVaughn Allen launched a three-point shot from the right corner.

The ball clanked off the side of the rim.

With Allen’s last-second miss, the then-struggling Commodores, who had a 9-10 record and just three SEC wins at the time, completed the upset — a 68-66 win over the No. 19 Florida Gators. Chiozza played 14 scoreless minutes, reduced to helplessly watching most of the game from the bench.

UF coach Mike White paused for a moment before he addressed the media following the team’s first home loss of the season.
