Glen Rice just missed having five 30-point games in a row by 2 points. The most epic tourney run, at least since the field expanded to 64 teams.

He is a Steph Curry-like sharpshooter and also great at going to the basket. Super impressive

“One more,” Walter Clayton Jr. could be seen saying to all the teammates and staffers offering him handshakes on the floor in the aftermath.

It’s what he’s willed Florida to all spring.
