Canadian Andrew Nembhard helped the Florida Gators become the latest team to pull off an upset in Round 1 of the NCAA Tournament.
Cody Martin scored 23 points and twin brother Caleb Martin had 19 for the Wolf Pack . The two combined for 28 of their team’s 33 points in the second half as Nevada rallied.
The Gators controlled the pace into the second half with their deliberate offence, often letting the shot clock run into single digits before shooting. The SEC’s top-rated defence clogged passing and driving lanes and contested almost every shot. KeVaughn Allen made back-to-back shots to start a 12-0 run early in the second half that swelled the Gators’ lead to 51-33 with 14 minutes left.
