Florida's Alijah Martin almost made Bill Raftery's head explode.
In the middle of the Gators' Final Four matchup with Auburn on Saturday night, Martin threw down a breakaway dunk that made the CBS broadcaster wail with delight.
With Florida ahead 64-63 and 5:33 to go in the game, Martin collected the ball off of a steal and went the length of the court before rising up and hammering home a dunk between two Auburn defenders. It was incredible.
Video, and audio of Raftery's reaction, is below.

It was a picture perfect poster and the encapsulation of what the second half of this game has been. The basketball has been outstanding with a lot of dunks flying left and right and both teams playing at a high level.
At the final media timeout, Martin has 17 points, as he and Walter Clayton Jr. have helped lead Florida's comeback.
