Dru Smith's last-second reverse layup lifts Mizzou to win over Florida
Wednesday night’s Mizzou-Florida game had plenty of drama right up until the buzzer.
The Tigers took a 70-62 lead in Gainesville with roughly two minutes left in the game. Mike White’s squad battled back, though, going on an 8-0 run to make it 70-70 with just seconds left on the clock. On Mizzou’s final possession, Dru Smith came through at the last second with a reverse layup, putting MU up 72-70. The Gators were unable to answer with just 0.7 seconds left on the clock.

Cuonzo Martin’s squad picks up a major Quad 1 win for its NCAA Tournament resume. Florida’s Tre Mann led all scorers with 21 points. Two keys to Mizzou’s victory were the three-point and turnover battles. The Tigers were 9-of-22 behind the line while the Gators were just 5-of-14. UF also turned the ball over 18 times to MU’s 13.
Who will Florida be looking at for their new BB coach after the season?
Are you serious? Mike White has done a very good job without KJ.
Thanks Dru Smith. Always nice to see the Gators lose no matter the sport!!!
Your such a f$@king loser dude, let me know when UGA Wins a title in any major sport.
I like how the entire Gator team is standing there watching the guy score the winning points. Lol.
Talk when your team has won a championship in anything recently.
2018 Indoor and Outdoor track and field
2019 Indoor tennis
But hey, ya’ll won the 2018 and 2019 Womens Equestrian titles so now you’re what just 23 behind?
Ok, I’m done talking now…
You think UF will sweep UGA in the big three sports this year? Football was a slaughter and UF is already 2-0 against UGA in basketball.
On another note, congrats to Mizzou. Great defense. Too many turnovers for us to overcome.
Even a rival troll gotta know when to hold em’, know when to fold em’…when it comes to BB we humpers got nothin for you…how bout dem Lady Pups!
Now where the heck did I put my Gonzaga jersey?
Thought it was a silly place for a UGA fan to pick a fight. Haven’t paid attention to little girl bball in a while unless you count the occasional NBA game. Are the lady dawgs in contention? Thanks for getting that song stuck in my head btw.
Great song isn’t it…rip Kenny.
I hear you, as a humper fan bringing an oval ball to a round ball fight is akin to the Earps bringing a knife to the OK corral…not to good!
Can’t stand to watch more than 2.7 minutes of ladies BB but the Ladypups seem to be doing respectable, but with UConn around does it really matter?
Big win for Missouri. That should punch their ticket to the dance. They needed the win more than Florida did.
Exciting game. Was looking forward to the OT.
Not a BB fan, but this year’s team has squandered away double digit leads more times than I can remember. Cardiac kids take 2.
They’ve also squandered a preferable seed for the NCAA’s. This Mizzou team has shown flashes of being really good and have some good wins, but I just don’t see them being a good tourney team at all. The consistency isn’t there to win 2, 3, or more big games in a row, or in a tourney setting. I mean there’s hope they can but just no confidence they can. After this year it’s back to rebuilding with younger players too.
Thanks Mizzou. That at least gives us a chance at a 4 seed in the tourney. of course we have been playing like a steamy pile, of late, so not sure it matters but at least there is something significant to garner from a win, other than the win. Should be a great game…I hope.
