Idk how you plan for a guy like Walter Clayton Jr. He legitimately can be called the Steph Curry of college bball due to his off the dribble pull up ability. Most coaches are screaming at their players to not take some of his shots.

Walt proved why he was a 1st team All-American, going for 15 of his 23 in the second half including some clutch shots down the stretch to help Florida get the win. And Will Richard was monumental defensively when it looked like UConn was gonna start taking control of the game.

The @GatorsMBK survive & advance 75 73 vs @UConnMBB thanks to the hot hand of WALTER CLAYTON who hit 5 3’s & scored 23 . Made clutch 3’s when Gators were behind late. Played for @RealPitino @IonaGaelsMBB & led them to @MarchMadnessMBB .He was recruited by recruiting dynamo Tom…

Break it down any way u want, but those pair of Clayton 3s were the difference in @GatorsMBK surviving. Now Golden gets to go to former home in SF for Sweet 16.
