Florida basketball's wild comeback to beat the Texas Tech Red Raiders 84-79 and punch a ticket to the Final Four had social media in a frenzy.
Down 71-61 with six minutes left, the Gators closed on an 18-4 run sparked by clutch threes and near-perfect free-throw shooting. Fans couldn't believe the turnaround鈥搊r Tech's collapse.
Thomas Haugh, the Gators' savior in this Elite Eight battle, had a key offensive rebound and three-point shot on the same possession that completely shifted the momentum in favor of the Orange and Blue. Walter Clayton Jr. also played a major role in orchestrating the Gators' comeback win, knocking down shots when they mattered most.
Head coach Todd Golden and his Gators squad are moving on to the Final Four, and Gator Nation couldn't be more proud of this talented group.
Below are some of the top posts from X, also known as Twitter, reacting to this game that will go down in the Florida Gators history books as an instant classic.
