Dear God, Florida fans don't even care about basketball. Love, you know who
— Blackburn Review©®™ (@BlackburnReview) March 29, 2014
Think Dayton will have to shoot the lights out to win. That's hard to do against Florida. Will have to take (and make) some contested shots.
— Pat Forde (@YahooForde) March 29, 2014
Dayton's tournament opponents have shot 8-of-43 on their 3s.
— John Gasaway (@JohnGasaway) March 29, 2014
Dayton basketball fans are awesome. That's why the First Four is there.
— Nicole Auerbach (@NicoleAuerbach) March 29, 2014
Mike Stewart, Doug Shows and Pat Driscoll have the whistle. Good crew.
— Pat Forde (@YahooForde) March 29, 2014
Not just good, but great energy in this building at the tip

Refs off to a good start, missing a double dribble.

Reggie: "Florida wants to speed you up."
They were 314th in D-I in tempo.
I give up.
— Andy Glockner (@AndyGlockner) March 29, 2014
EXACTLY! RT @AlligatorArmy: Dayton is 226th in tempo, and Florida 314th, but, yes, Reggie, Florida "wants to speed you up."
— Chris Dobbertean (@ChrisDobbertean) March 29, 2014
"Florida wants to speed you up." Gators No. 11 in tempo in SEC play.

I want Dayton to win for one reason and one reason only: To see the pictures of the UD Ghetto after party tonight.
— Nick (@realnrb) March 29, 2014
Dayton is doing a good job of keeping the Gators in front of them on defense so far.
— Jerry Palm (@jppalmCBS) March 29, 2014
7-2 UF run to start. 5-0 UD response. Now 6-0 UF run and counting. Pat Young hard to handle inside.
— Pat Forde (@YahooForde) March 29, 2014
Six minutes in, Dayton has used 10 players. Florida has used 9.
— Pete Thamel (@PeteThamel) March 29, 2014
Reggie’s watching some other game.
— Ken Pomeroy (@kenpomeroy) March 29, 2014
Patric Young had 11 points combined against Pittsburgh and UCLA. Has six already. Florida looking for him (and he's finishing).
— Jeff Borzello (@jeffborzello) March 29, 2014
That was sweet, Casey Prather and Will Yeguete and Casey Prather, again.
— Chris Dobbertean (@ChrisDobbertean) March 29, 2014
Is there a way to disconnect one of three commentators from an audio feed? Asking for America.
— Andy Glockner (@AndyGlockner) March 29, 2014
Huge 3 by Davis to quell the Gators momentum after a block byYeguette started a breakout. 2nd TV timeout, Gators by 4
— Jerry Palm (@jppalmCBS) March 29, 2014
Dayton’s gotten some really good looks so far. Some shots haven’t fallen. Reggie’s cure: take more time off the shot clock against #2 D.
— Ken Pomeroy (@kenpomeroy) March 29, 2014
Unless the shot goes in, in which case it’s a good shot.
— Ken Pomeroy (@kenpomeroy) March 29, 2014
Two fouls on Prather already…ugh
— Chris Dobbertean (@ChrisDobbertean) March 29, 2014
Pat Young playing a heck of a game. Great defensive rotation on last Dayton possession to force that bad pass.
— Pat Forde (@YahooForde) March 29, 2014
First foul on Kavanaugh. As deep as Dayton is, they cannot afford to sit him much. He's their best interior defender
— Jerry Palm (@jppalmCBS) March 29, 2014
Did he just say "DU" campus?
— Kirk Herbstreit (@KirkHerbstreit) March 29, 2014
Why is Florida helping off a 38% 3-point shooter to double a backup post player?
— Kevin Pelton (@kpelton) March 29, 2014
Donovan to Finney-Smith, who doubled and left Devin Oliver open for 3: "What are you doing?!" It is a valid question.
— Eamonn Brennan (@eamonnbrennan) March 29, 2014
I don't think any Florida player has been in the vicinity of the shooter on Dayton's three made 3s.
— Jeff Borzello (@jeffborzello) March 29, 2014
SCOOCH!!!!
— Blackburn Review©®™ (@BlackburnReview) March 29, 2014
I still can't figure out if Florida is doubling by design or not. It doesn't seem like the best strategy.
— Eamonn Brennan (@eamonnbrennan) March 29, 2014
Smith with a 3 and Dayton leads for the first time. After missing their first four three-pointers, the Flyers have now hit four in a row
— Jerry Palm (@jppalmCBS) March 29, 2014
Why help on the post?
— Raphielle Johnson (@raphiellej) March 29, 2014
Flyers are so damn pesky. Can tell they're playing with house money. Quick. Decisive. Smooth. Fla will have hard time landing knockout punch
— Brad Evans (@YahooNoise) March 29, 2014
This is some kind of high-level college game – with perimeter players D-ing-UP! Gotta love it.
— Rex Chapman (@rex_rexchapman) March 29, 2014
I could watch Dayton pass the ball all day. Flyers could conduct a clinic in ball movement.
— Eric Prisbell (@EricPrisbell) March 29, 2014
wait we're playing our white dude what went wrong
— THICC KEN (@edsbs) March 29, 2014
Doh. Dayton marshalled Wilbekin into an awkward area and then both defenders left him.
— Andy Glockner (@AndyGlockner) March 29, 2014
Doesn't Dayton have anyone who can go left? Watching their offense is like watching a toilet drain in the Southern Hemisphere.
— Ed Küpfer (@EdKupfer) March 29, 2014
Pat Young six points, three boards, three blocks, one steal, two huge biceps.
— Pat Forde (@YahooForde) March 29, 2014
Frazier buries a three off a screen and the Gators lead is quickly up to 8. Timeout Flyers
— Jerry Palm (@jppalmCBS) March 29, 2014
A careless inbounds pass, an airball three, and suddenly Florida is up eight. Gators make you pay for mistakes.
— Pat Forde (@YahooForde) March 29, 2014
Florida starting to flex its collective muscle. 14-2 run, which included Frazier’s first three of the game. 33-23 Florida.
— Raphielle Johnson (@raphiellej) March 29, 2014
We all knew a Florida run would come. Having it come maybe as the half ends is not optimal timing, though.
— Andy Glockner (@AndyGlockner) March 29, 2014
And just like that Dayton down 10. Gators taking advantage of Flyers mistakes, cleaning up around the rim. Amazing. Blink of an eye.
— Brad Evans (@YahooNoise) March 29, 2014
What a half by Wilbekin
— Ed Isaacson (@EdKMGSports) March 29, 2014
WIlbekin, he's good.
— Blackburn Review©®™ (@BlackburnReview) March 29, 2014
And Scottie Wilbekin with the dagger. Dayton played 16 really good minutes and winds up down 14. Gators are so tough.
— Pat Forde (@YahooForde) March 29, 2014
The dying seconds are #ScottieTime!
— Chris Dobbertean (@ChrisDobbertean) March 29, 2014
Wilbekin being Wilbekin. Thanks for playing, Dayton.
— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) March 29, 2014
Dayton only shooting 31% in the first half. They'll probably have to close to double that in the second to have a chance to come back
— Jerry Palm (@jppalmCBS) March 29, 2014
"Scottie Wilbekin" is a full sentence describing what happens if he marries your daughter. (I'll see myself out.)
— Kevin Pelton (@kpelton) March 29, 2014
There ya go. Work the ball inside, pass out of the double-team and there's an open guy behind the perimeter. It's worked quite effectively.
— Jeff Borzello (@jeffborzello) March 29, 2014
So Florida goes back to doubleteaming. #SPLASH
— Matt Zemek (@MattZemek) March 29, 2014
LETS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
— Blackburn Review©®™ (@BlackburnReview) March 29, 2014
They really need to stop doubling the post. Make the Dayton big beat you one-on-one.
— Raphielle Johnson (@raphiellej) March 29, 2014
Can't ask for a better start.
— Blackburn Review©®™ (@BlackburnReview) March 29, 2014
Dayton fighting back with two corner threes. First one off a nice play call and execution. Billy D quick timeout to correct the D.
— Pat Forde (@YahooForde) March 29, 2014
Wilbekin getting ice rubbed on both thighs. Cramping issue?
— Pat Forde (@YahooForde) March 29, 2014
Wilbekin checked back in. See how he looks.
— Pat Forde (@YahooForde) March 29, 2014
Congrats to the Dayton player who got hit by Patric Young and didn't die you now have like three superpowers
— THICC KEN (@edsbs) March 29, 2014
Gators pounding it inside this half. Everything is going to the basket.
— Pat Forde (@YahooForde) March 29, 2014
Dayton hit those first two threes of the half. No buckets since. First scheduled media timeout. Gators back up 11
— Jerry Palm (@jppalmCBS) March 29, 2014
Florida has an offensive efficiency of 123, the eFG% of 55 and FT Rate of 60 is the difference in the game http://t.co/r0KLhvQDqU
— Jon Pence (@scacchoops) March 29, 2014
Finally, an easy bucket.
— Blackburn Review©®™ (@BlackburnReview) March 29, 2014
Reggie Miller just baiting Twitter users now. Well done
— Ed Isaacson (@EdKMGSports) March 29, 2014
Florida wisely used up its bad free throw shooting in the SEC Tournament, just as its fans had hoped.
— Matt Zemek (@MattZemek) March 29, 2014
Dayton needs to try to get Sibert a clean look somehow. Hasn’t scored yet.
— Raphielle Johnson (@raphiellej) March 29, 2014
That should do it.
— Blackburn Review©®™ (@BlackburnReview) March 29, 2014
Just a brilliant performance by Florida
— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) March 29, 2014
I'm pretty sure Dayton is beyond the point of being able to afford to miss layups
— Jerry Palm (@jppalmCBS) March 29, 2014
Dayton has two field goals since those back-to-back 3-pointers to begin the half. Florida rolling.
— Jeff Borzello (@jeffborzello) March 29, 2014
Another reason to abolish the live-ball timeout from the bench. That Dayton push up the floor had potential.
— John Gasaway (@JohnGasaway) March 29, 2014
Yep, Dayton Coach Archie Miller's real name is Ryan. But he says he was a "grumpy" kid & his family nicknamed him Archie after Archie Bunker
— Rachel Nichols (@Rachel__Nichols) March 29, 2014
TV timeout after one play. Dayton still down 14, but not showing any signs of rolling over. Body language still good
— Jerry Palm (@jppalmCBS) March 29, 2014
Scottie Wilbekin is the best tough shot maker in the country. That lefty runner off the glass was just stupid.
— Rob Dauster (@RobDauster) March 29, 2014
Every Michael Frazier 3-pointer seems like a dagger 3-pointer.
— Jeff Borzello (@jeffborzello) March 29, 2014
"Wait, how did they get ahead by 17?" – said during every single Florida game this year
— David Steele (@David_C_Steele) March 29, 2014
UD has to start thinking about trapping or at least pressuring the ball at some point, right?
— Blackburn Review©®™ (@BlackburnReview) March 29, 2014
Yeguete's passing has been Sanchez-esque.
— John Gasaway (@JohnGasaway) March 29, 2014
Impressed by Dyshawn Pierre in the tournament. Can score inside and out, has good finishing skills, decent vision/passer for his size.
— Jeff Borzello (@jeffborzello) March 29, 2014
Feels like Wilbekin never misses an open triple.
— Alex Schwartz (@AlexJSchwartz) March 30, 2014
Finney-Smith has announced his presence on the glass the past minute.
— Matt Zemek (@MattZemek) March 30, 2014
Florida is wisely resetting the ball after each of these O-boards.
— Matt Zemek (@MattZemek) March 30, 2014
Dyshawn Pierre hit his 3-pointer with 5:45 remaining. Florida had the ball for the next 1:42.
— Jeff Borzello (@jeffborzello) March 30, 2014
Dyshawn Pierre is singlehandedly keeping Dayton in this game. Florida's offensive rebounding is keeping them ahead.
— Eamonn Brennan (@eamonnbrennan) March 30, 2014
Floirda has 12 offensive rebounds, all seemingly on the last two possessions. Last TV timeout. Gators up 8
— Jerry Palm (@jppalmCBS) March 30, 2014
This series of offensive rebounds by Florida might decide this game.
— Rush the Court (@rushthecourt) March 30, 2014
What a dumb decision by Prather
— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) March 30, 2014

Archie and official Pat Driscoll had a nice little chit chat at the start of the time out. Archie is steamed.
— Pete Thamel (@PeteThamel) March 30, 2014
"Dayton is hurting itself not being able to get defensive rebounds."
Thanks.
— Andy Glockner (@AndyGlockner) March 30, 2014
Six offensive rebounds in the last two possessions for Florida. Dayton has had the ball for 27 seconds since the 5:45 mark.
— Jeff Borzello (@jeffborzello) March 30, 2014
back to back horrendous possessions from Dayton right after they made it a game again.
— Matt Opper (@M_Opper) March 30, 2014
A portion of the viewing audience still has a lot of interest in this free throw session. #plus10
— Andy Glockner (@AndyGlockner) March 30, 2014
What could you possilby have to review between FTs?
— Jerry Palm (@jppalmCBS) March 30, 2014
Florida running the 2013 Florida football offense.
— Alligator Army (@AlligatorArmy) March 30, 2014
That was school-yard ball, if school-yard ball was comprised of a bunch of uncoordinated fifth-graders. What a terrible Dayton possession.

This changes nothing. What a ride.

Nice job by the Florida Gators. Great teams find ways to win, and this Florida team has gutted out 4 tough games.

Final: Florida 62, Dayton 52. Billy Donovan is now in the Final Four for the fourth time. He’s two wins away from his third NCAA title.
