If you're among those who have been enjoying the 2017 NCAA Tournament but longing for some true last-second drama... send some thanks to Florida (and then Kentucky and North Carolina).

The Gators punched their ticket to the Elite Eight on Friday night with this sweet Chris Chiozza buzzer beater - part Evan Turner, part Tyus Edney - to beat Wisconsin in overtime.

Then Sunday they were upstaged by North Carolina and Kentucky, who traded big shots at the end of their Elite Eight game.

Good times (unless you're part of #BBN, of course).
