Florida center Micah Handlogten broke his lower left leg in the opening minutes of the SEC final Sunday and will undergo surgery.
Florida center Micah Handlogten broke his lower left leg in the opening minutes of the Southeastern Conference Tournament final Sunday and was taken off the court on a stretcher to a hospital. Coach Todd Golden, who knelt over his player while Handlogten laid on the court, said he felt for the young center after the Gators lost 86-67 to No. 12 Auburn.
Auburn coach Bruce Pearl noted players from both teams returned to their benches and prayed. The Tigers' pastor had tears in his eyes because he came to Auburn from Marshall and knew both Handlogten and his family. 'That’s the SEC,' Pearl said. Handlogten's parents were brought to the court from their seats in the stands. His mother, Danielle, wearing his No. 3 jersey, kneeled near his head as her son was treated on the court with his father, Ben, close by.
