Keenan Evans, who has said he treats every game like senior night and doesn't want to be done, scored 22 points and hit a tiebreaking 3-pointer with less than three minutes left as third-seeded Texas Tech beat Florida 69-66 on Saturday night.

While the next loss will end All-Big 12 guard Evans' career, high-flying freshman Zhaire Smith is just getting started.

Smith had 18 points, nine rebounds and seven assists, and was on the receiving end of an alley-oop pass from Evans with 29 seconds left for a punctuating dunk to send the Red Raiders (26-10) to Boston.

Chris Chiozza then drove for a layup for the Gators with 25 seconds left, and Evans tried to split a double-team on the inbound. Florida gathered the ball after a wild scramble, and Egor Koulechov and KeVaughn Allen both had 3-pointer attempts in the final 10 seconds that came up short.

The loss snapped a streak of regional final berths for the Gators -- Florida had reached the "Elite 8" round of the tournament in each of their prior four appearances.
