Despite holding a lead at halftime, the Auburn Tigers began to fall apart in the second half and fell to the Florida Gators in the Final Four.

An Alijah Martin dunk sent the Florida faithful into a frenzy, but the battle-tested Tigers held strong, ultimately forcing a one-point contest with just over three minutes to play. A pair of Alex Condon free throws extended the Florida lead, giving the Gators a much needed cushion down the stretch.
