After some timely shooting from Walter Clayton Jr. on Saturday night, the Florida Gators men's basketball team is still chomping and still marching.
Clayton scored 13 points over the final five minutes and change in Florida's 84-79 victory against Texas Tech in the Elite Eight. His performance helped boost the Gators who'll compete in the Final Four for the sixth time in program history this weekend from San Antonio.
Florida erased a 10-point deficit and overcame 12 turnovers which yielded 22 points for the Red Raiders. Todd Golden and company will now face Auburn with a chance to compete for a national championship.
Has Florida been to the Men's Final Four before?
Yes, the Gators have made the Final Four six times in program history including this season. The other seasons were 1994, 2000, 2006, 2007 and 2014.
They are 5-3 all-time in the Final Four, winning in 2006 and 2007 as repeat champions.
1994: Gators make first Final Four appearance in program history
Florida made their first Final Four appearance in 1994, entering the tournament as a No. 3 seed and working their way to wins against James Madison, Penn, an overtime victory against Connecticut and Boston College.
They'd lose to 1994 runner-ups Duke in the Final Four before the Blue Devils lost to Arkansas in the championship game.
