Florida ends UConn's reign over men's college basketball with close March Madness win

The Florida Gators’ clutch shooting late in their second-round men’s basketball tournament matchup helped knock off the two-time defending champion UConn Huskies on Sunday, 77-75.

No. 1 Florida didn’t lead at all until 2:44 left in the game. Guard Walter Clayton Jr. nailed a 3-pointer and then a Huskies turnover led to a breakaway dunk from Will Richard. It was a part of a 6-0 run and the Gators never looked back.
