The Florida Gators have plenty to smile about after stealing a victory in Missouri. More
The Tigers figured to do no worse than go into overtime with Florida.
Chiozza's steal and breakaway layup during the final seconds of a 77-75 win at Missouri capped UF's fifth straight win and a furious second-half comeback led Chiozza and Jalen Hudson.
Let's look at the players to watch, the keys to victory, and a score prediction for Saturday afternoon's matchup.
With the Gators ahead 51-49, Missouri uncorked a 13-1 spurt, Geist's 3-pointer with 10:05 remaining giving it a 62-52 advantage. Robertson appeared to miss Hudson's arm, but the Gators guard stuck out his leg to draw some contact as he released his shot. Chiozza hit two free throws, pulling the Gators within four.
Barnett opened with three 3-pointers, all assisted by Porter with passes out of the post.
Another hot-shooting start put Missouri in front by double digits, but the Gators chomped back with a 12-3 run to take a 36-35 lead into halftime.

Thin after losing Harris, the Tigers also had tight rotations in the front court.
Most people around the college basketball landscape hear the last name Porter and Missouri and think of Michael Porter Jr., who is projected to be a top-five pick in the upcoming NBA Draft, but with Porter Jr.'s injury early in the season, a new Porter has emerged for Missouri and has been one of the best freshmen in the conference.
Missouri lost despite making almost 48 percent of its field goal tries and going 11-of-19 on 3-pointers.
Three of Missouri's first five field goals were three-pointers, all by Barnett, who had outscored the Gators by himself through the first 9 1/2 minutes.
That Chiozza was held scoreless in the first half makes his victor all the more remarkable; he scored all 13 of his points in the second half to help Florida overcome a one-point halftime deficit that, with under eight minutes to play, had ballooned to nine. The Tigers (11-4, 1-1) dribbled the ball to midcourt and took timeout to set up a potential winning shot, but Chiozza had other ideas. Missouri (11-4, 1-1) called a timeout with 17.4 seconds remaining. Egor Koulechov hit for 15, while Chiozza and Keith Stone each scored 13 points.
