In a tournament that lacked an overtime or a buzzer-beater, this Sweet 16 clash delivered both – in fact, it offered a pair of buzzer-beaters one to send the game into overtime from Wisconsin, the other to win it for Florida. “A gut wrenching game,” Wisconsin Coach Greg Gard called it. The Badgers sent the game into overtime when Zak Showalter hit an off balance, floating three-pointer to tie the game with 2.5 seconds left, and seemed poised for a repeat scenario. It was the Gators who seemed out of time after Hayes’ free throws gave the Badgers the 83-81 lead. The Gamecocks defeated No.3-seed Baylor, 70-50, in an earlier regional semifinal to make their first Elite Eight in school history.
