We haven't seen a Gator victory in "buzzer beater" fashion in quite some time. In over with about 2 seconds left on the clock, NC State was at the free throw line and missed the shot. Chandler Parsons rebounded the ball took about 2 dribbles and launched a 75 foot shot across the court - he sunk it with nothing but net. It was absolutely amazing... giving the Gators a 62-61 victory. Check the video below if you haven't seen it.
Parsons finished the game 1-5, the only basket he made was the buzzer beater (he did make two free throws though). Vernon Macklin led the team in scoring with 14 points. Erving Walker and Alex Tyus were both over double digits with 13 and 11 points respectively. Tyus also led the team in rebounding with 7.
The Gators have now won 3 games in a row. Florida will open play in the Southeastern Conference next Saturday (Jan. 9), when they travel to Nashville to take on Vanderbilt. The game will be televised live on ESPN at noon.
Here's the video in case you missed it.
