During last year’s run to a national title, there were several times when it looked like Florida was dead to rights and their dream would end. Probably the most dire spot the Gators found themselves in was when they were down by nine points with three minutes to play against Texas Tech in the Elite Eight. Thomas Haugh made a couple of threes before Walter Clayton Jr. created his own magic to send Florida to the Final Four.
One of the biggest thorns in the side of Florida that day was Darrion Williams, who had 23 points, five rebounds, and three steals.
