UConn didn't fall without a fight, but that 3-Pete dream has officially ended.
The No. 8 seed Husky was terrified of No. 1 Florida on Sunday in the madness of March's second round, but the Gators survived and advanced to the Sweet 16 with a 77-75 victory.
Uconn rose twice with about three minutes remaining, tied with Florida with less than two minutes remaining, but the remaining Walter Clayton Jr. 3-pointer opened a 6-point Gators lead at 1:07, and Aliya Martin's dunk rose 8 seconds left over Florida with 40 seconds and gave him plenty of Schwion.
One of the popular bracket picks to take part in the NCAA tournament, the Gators will face the winner of the Maryland, Colorado game on Sweet 16.
