    Florida Gulf Coast put on one last show at the NCAA tournament.

    The high-flying kids from "Dunk City" -- the No. 15 seed few people even knew of on Selection Sunday -- were hitting 3-pointers, had a highlight alley-oop and seemed like they were just getting started against one of the big schools from Florida.

    SEC regular-season champion Florida, the No. 3 seed, was getting an all-too-close look at what everybody has enjoyed watching this March. But Michael Frazier's only two baskets of the night got the Gators on their own run, and FGCU's improbable NCAA tourney run to the round of 16 came to an end just before midnight Friday.

    Frazier's 3-pointers came from the left side, directly in front of the FGCU bench, to start a 16-0 run late in the first half. That put the Gators ahead to stay on the way to a 62-50 victory.
