...only kidding. But the game was a pretty monumental choke job. Florida led for the majority of the game, but
Louisville went on a 23-8 run to close the game out, leaving Billy Donovan's Gators stunned. With Peyton Siva on the bench after five fouls, the Cardinals took over.
Chane Behanan, who, for once, backed up his words with some action, hit the go-ahead shot with 1:04 to go. Russ Smith hit a couple of free throws after that, and Florida's Bradley Beal and Kenny Boynton each missed shots at the end that would have tied the game.
This was just the first step in insuring that we see a UK-Louisville matchup in the Final Four, and thus,
the explosion of Twitter, the state of Kentucky and Matt Jones' brain. If the Cats pull a W out tomorrow, this is going to be one fun week for Kentuckians.
Afterwards, Rick Pitino claimed that this was the happiest moment of his life besides the birth of his children. Even if Florida's choke job doesn't interest you, I'm sure you'll have plenty to say about our dear old former coach. Fire away, BBN.
