In a thrilling NCAA Tournament game, Colorado (10) secured a nail-biting victory over Florida (7) with a final score of 102-100. This game was a highlight of March Madness, featuring a late comeback by Florida that tied the game at 100-100 with just seconds left on the clock. However, Colorado managed to pull ahead, thanks in part to a game-winning shot by KJ Simpson, securing their advancement to the next round. The win also contributed to the Pac-12's undefeated streak in the tournament, moving them to 5-0, while marking another loss for the SEC. The game was filled with remarkable moments, including a massive three-pointer from Walter Clayton and a coast-to-coast play by Tristan da Silva. Eddie Lampkin contributed significantly with 21 points. The victory not only showcased Colorado's offensive prowess but also added $18 million in NCAA Tournament revenue for OSU/WSU.

COLORADO WITH A STUNNER! https://t.co/vhCMaBQCnf
Florida-Colorado was absolute heat
That Florida-Colorado game is one of the better first round battles youโll see. What a finish.
The Pac-12 improves to 5-0 on an incredible 102-100 Colorado win over Florida. The Conference of Champions refuses to go gentle into that good night.
Whew, that Florida/Colorado game was something! #NCAAMarchMadness
And then KJ Simpson saves Tad Boyleโs ass for going full keep away in the final five minutes with a ridiculous contested baseline game winner. What a sick game. https://t.co/54J7LfaKUR
KJ Simpson gets the humble bounce with 1.7 to play to give Colorado the 102-100 win. Yale up three over Auburn with 13.7 secs to play. Other than that, nothing much happening.
12 minutes before tip, the crowd in Brooklyn just lived and died with the last few seconds of Colorado-Florida. And is now very much pulling for Yale.
KJ SIMPSON WINS THE GAME FOR COLORADO (+100) โ https://t.co/yt8gFJGm7e
What a game in Indy. Colorado is such a fascinating team. Barely got into the tournament but has several legit NBA prospects.
Colorado advances. What a game.
Oh no, Gators. Colorado gets away with a blatant push-off and the game winner bounces up and in. Heartbreak. https://t.co/C1EhKHEgWb
WOW, Colorado advances!
LEGEND. #CUBuffs #GoBuffs #NCAA #MarchMadness https://t.co/ekVfKoo1q1

Final: Colorado beats Florida 102-100. Pac-12 is 5-0 in the NCAA Tournament. Another SEC team KOโed. *** $18 million (and counting) in NCAA Tournament revenue for OSU/WSU.

FLORIDA TIES THE GAME ๐ฑ A STUNNER ๐ฅ #MarchMadness @GatorsMBK https://t.co/KHZA8MTPd9
Walter Clayton just going full god mode for Florida. This is the best game of the Tournament, and itโs gonna be hard to top. My god, this Florida-Colorado game is incredible
Wowza. Walter Clayton Jr. (a stud) pulls a logo 3 for the tie against Colorado. It's 100-all with 6.1 to go. Amazing stuff. https://t.co/X6X8TEFRWg
This Colorado Florida game is peak #MarchMadness
An insane Colorado-Florida game. My word.
Colorado and Florida are locked into the equivalent of like a Washington State-Arizona Pac-12 After Dark football game right now
Barclays Center just exploded. Showed the 3-pointer by Walter Clayton to tie Florida-Colorado on big screen.
I think the over cashed in Colorado/Florida. What a "nail biter."
Everything is happening! And the SEC office is TENSE (again) right now. Auburn trails Yale by one in the final 35 seconds, Florida trails Colorado by two in the final 18 seconds ...
Colorado is absolutely gagging. Wow.
Trying to keep up with Yale & Auburn while checking Colorado & Florida. ๐ฏ https://t.co/m9459QswX9
Multiview was made for Yale-Auburn and Florida-Colorado coming down to the wire at the exact same time.
MASSIVE THREE FROM WALTER CLAYTON ๐ณ #MarchMadness @GatorsMBK https://t.co/T56TPotVWH
At a bar in Pittsburgh and for some weird reason, everyone cares about Colorado/Florida more than the Yale game. This is Dan Gavittโs America.
The Gators aren't going away ๐ #MarchMadness @GatorMBK https://t.co/ryGiucmR7D
This has not been the most convincing close by Colorado
3 straight stops by @GatorsMBK defense gives them chance to pull out this entertaining game.
Tristan da Silva takes flight. โ๏ธ (๐ฅ: @MarchMadnessMBB) https://t.co/N14RpYLdvE
Yale and Colorado threatening to make the SECโs already bad tournament much worse.
Colorado headed for 100

Honestly pretty stunned that Florida hasn't tried a zone here to at least just attempt to clog things for Colorado. Know Colorado can shoot, but make them execute in another variety. No chance in man to man right now for the Gators. https://t.co/bupLX7ObjY
Colorado, playing basically 7 guys, is gonna top 100 points vs Florida while shooting a staggering 64% FG 66% 3FG 88% FT (27 attempts) I'm nervous for Marquette
Large Eddie Lampkin loves the NCAA Tournament, at TCU or Colorado. He has 21 for the Buffaloes.
Colorado in TAKEOVER MODE ๐ฅ https://t.co/y1DZGLZeJ5
Colorado is looking like the Nuggets. They donโt miss..
The offensive output for Colorado-Florida is NBA All-Star Game levels relative to the MBB average.
Nervous moments for the SEC. Florida on the brink against Colorado and Auburn still messing around with Yale in a game that should have been long over.
Colorado is just totally lights out right now on offense. Florida can't stay in front. And the Gators' lack of depth on the interior without Handlogten is showing. But man, this is sick from Colorado.
COLORADO IS COOKING. ๐ฅ (๐ฅ: @MarchMadnessMBB) https://t.co/gA5smgxxlR
