Mike Miller scored as the overtime buzzer sounded to lift fifth-seeded Florida to a thrilling 69-68 victory over No. 12 Butler in an NCAA Tournament East Region first-round contest.

Given new life after Butler's LaVall Jordan missed a pair of free throws with 8.1 seconds left, the Gators (25-7) put the ball into the hands of their best all-around player in Miller, who drove from the left wing and made a leaner in the lane to set off a wild celebration by the Florida bench.
