The Florida Gators overcame a nine-point deficit over the final 134 seconds against Texas Tech on Saturday night to earn a spot in the Final Four thanks to Walter Clayton Jr.'s heroics and an outsized contribution from Thomas Haugh. It's the first trip back to the Final Four for the Gators since 2014 where they will square off against the winner of Auburn-Michigan State.
Freshman center Olivier Rioux did not get into the box score and has yet to see any action this season but he did get to dominate the celebratory net-cutting postgame for a second time, having previously drawn eyeballs at the SEC tournament.
