Chandler Parsons goes full court vs NC State

Once upon a time the basketball team for the Florida Gators had hope and was fun to watch. Playing a non-conference game on the road at NC State, the Gators went to OT in a thrilling back-and-forth contest.

However, as OT was ending, Florida was trailing by one and NC State had two free throws with 2.6 seconds left.

The Wolfpack made the first and missed the second, leaving Florida down by two. But with no timeouts, Chandler Parsons had to grab the rebound and let off a 60-foot heave to try and win the game.

Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good.
