What a way to win for Florida.

Mizzou and Florida were tied at 75-75 with 17 seconds left on Saturday afternoon. The Tigers had the ball and were holding for the last shot. At least they were trying to until Florida’s Chris Chiozza stole the ball and scored a go-ahead layup in one incredible clutch play.
Chiozza stole a pass from Mizzou and raced down the court in the final seconds for the go-ahead layup. He put the ball through the hoop as time expired.
Chiozza has been a hero for Florida before — most memorably with his game-winner against Wisconsin in the NCAA tournament last year. He played the role again on Saturday, finishing with all 13 of his points in the second half.
Florida wins, 77-75. Mizzou falls to 11-4 with the loss. If the Tigers fail to make the NCAA tournament, this one is going to sting.
