00:19seconds of regulation inside the alamo dome over houston drs when we talk about this win for florida
00:26it was a common theme for the gators throughout the big dance they trailed by double digits against
00:32the red raiders of texas tech in the elite eight out in san francisco they trailed by nine points
00:38with fewer than three minutes remaining in regulation in that game against the red raiders

01:19and we talked yesterday a lot about correlation right oh well if that game stays under the total
01:23it's a houston game when primarily it was right up until the end of that year so it's always
01:27interesting to watch that play out but they were phenomenal down the stretch when they needed to
01:31make plays and boy they had some blistering plays where it wasn't as if they chipped away ben it was
01:35like hey we're up 12 points and in the blink of an eye here comes florida ripping down the court a
01:39couple three-point shots and one plays and next thing you know they're right back in it which

02:06tournament then they take out the norfolk state game back-to-back champions yukon maryland a rising
02:11thing you know texas tech a very good team out of the big 12 which had them on the ropes they won
02:14auburn a very good team out of the sec who had them on the ropes and they won and houston a very good
02:19team that had them on the ropes and they won that is just a sign of digging down deep and believing
