Even in his lowest-scoring game of the NCAA Tournament, Florida’s Walter Clayton Jr. made his presence felt on both ends of the court late in the national final on Monday.The All-America guard rallied the Gators to a 65-63 victory over Houston in San Antonio, a performance that led to his selection as the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player.Clayton, a senior, finished the title game with 11 points — all in the final 15 minutes — seven assists and five rebounds.He also made the key defensive play in the final seconds, leaping to prevent Houston’s Emanuel Sharp from getting off a 3-point attempt. The ball fell to the floor, and Florida’s Alex Condon secured it as time expired.In the Gators’ semifinal victory over Auburn, Clayton amassed a career-high 34 points. That followed his 30-point effort in the Elite Eight against Texas Tech. Clayton is the first player since Larry Bird in 1979 to have back-to-back 30-point games in the Elite Eight and Final Four.
