At least to this point, an argument can be made that Florida point guard Chris Chiozza made the basketball play of the year in the Southeastern Conference. It came at Missouri two weeks ago when he broke into a passing lane, stole the ball and raced to the game-winning layup in the final seconds.
“Pretty much all anticipation,” he said Thursday.
In his postgame news conference, Florida Coach Mike White did not take credit for planning the winning play. Instead, he applauded Chiozza’s gift for improvisation.
“Not how we drew it up,” White said.
