Per LSU: SAN FRANCISCO -- — Coach Todd Golden cut the final strand of the net, waved it to the crowd and performed the famed Gator Chomp.
A celebration that seemed completely improbable just a few minutes earlier was in high gear. Florida is heading back to the Final Four.
Walter Clayton Jr. rescued top-seeded Florida with two late 3-pointers, and the Gators rallied from nine points down late to beat Texas Tech 84-79 in the NCAA Tournament's West Region final on Saturday.
“It goes to show how together we all are,” Clayton said. “Many times could easily just break, start pointing the finger, blaming each other for this and that. But we just stayed together through the end and stayed the course. And thankfully we got it done today.”
