Chris Chiozza is going down in history as one of the biggest heroes of March Madness after the memorable moment he delivered on Friday night.
Chiozza went the length of the court with his Florida Gators down 83-81 and four seconds left in their Sweet 16 contest against Wisconsin, and he tossed up a hurried 3-pointer that went in. That gave Florida an improbable 84-83 overtime win, sending the Gators to the Elite Eight.

What’s incredible is Chiozza essentially returned the favor to Wisconsin after the Badgers’ Zak Showalter made a similar three to send the game to overtime in the first place.
