MEMPHIS, Tenn. DeAndre Jordan Jersey . -- The Florida Gators are back where their last three seasons have ended with yet another chance to go to the Final Four. Being in the Elite Eight again, though, simply isnt enough. Michael Frazier II hit five 3-pointers and finished with 19 points as the Gators beat UCLA 79-68 Thursday night to reach its fourth consecutive NCAA regional final. "We just talked about it, and its not enough for us," Florida senior Will Yeguete said. "We have two days to get ready for a good team, and were just going to go for it on Saturday." The Gators (35-2) also extended the best winning streak in school history to 29 straight in reaching the South Regional final. "From a team aspect, I think weve done a great job of just staying in the moment and just trying to chase greatness," Frazier said. "When you do that, complacency isnt a factor so I think weve done a great job all year of just staying in the moment and chasing greatness." The tournaments overall top seed will play 11th-seeded Dayton on Saturday night for a trip to the Final Four. Dayton beat Stanford 82-72 earlier Thursday night. "Right now we got to put this game behind us and get focused on Dayton," Florida senior Scottie Wilbekin said. "Theyre a great team. Everybody is at this point in the season, and so we got to be locked in and ready because its going to be a battle." Wilbekin added 13 points for Florida. Casey Prather had 12 points, and Dorian Finney-Smith had 10. Kasey Hill had 10 assists. The Gators have not lost since Dec. 2. The Gators lost to Michigan a year ago in a regional final. "But its a new team that we have, and were playing a new team so its a totally different situation," Wilbekin said. "Were just excited to get this win and move onto the next game. Were totally focused on that. The past has no impact." UCLA (28-9) was back in a regional semifinal for the first time since 2008 under first-year coach Steve Alford. But the Bruins just couldnt match Floridas physical defence or outshoot the Gators. UCLA now is 0-4 against Florida coach Billy Donovan all-time -- all in the NCAA tournament. "They played very well," Alford said of the Gators. "They are an outstanding basketball team." Florida shot 50 per cent for the game (29 of 58), including 59.3 per cent in the second half. UCLA finished 42.2 per cent (27 of 64) shooting in only their fifth game scoring under 70 points this season. The Bruins were a cold 1 of 12 beyond the arc in the second half. Jordan Adams led the Bruins with 17 points, Kyle Anderson had 11 and five assists with nine rebounds. Travis Wear added 14. Frazier showed off the Gators shooting skills. He had hit only 3 of 13 beyond the arc through the Gators first two tournament wins but hit five of his first six against UCLA. The Gators led 36-30 at halftime and clicked on a different level in the second half. They hit their first six shots and eight of their first 10. Every time UCLA tried to make a run, Florida answered. First, it was Frazier hitting consecutive 3-pointers as UCLA pulled within 43-39. When the Bruins pulled within 56-55 on a layup by Norman Powell midway through the half, Finney-Smith hit a jumper for the first of 10 straight points. The Gators had UCLA running up and down the court so much Adams couldnt even hit the rim with a jumper despite having an open look at the basket. Wilbekin finished off the run with a three-point play that had the Gators solidly in control, up 66-55 with 5:34 left. "He hit two big shots down the stretch," Anderson said. "Thats what you expect out of your senior point guard. Hes been here in the Sweet 16 four years. He made big shots. Credit to him." For all the talk of Floridas stingy defence, UCLA opened the game blocking the Gators first two shots. The Bruins only blocked two more shots the rest of the game. The Bruins came in as one of the nations best scoring teams, averaging 81.5 points a game. Florida showed early it could shoot too, hitting 5 of 8 beyond the arc in spurt that turned a 14-11 deficit into a 20-16 lead. Back-to-back 3s from Frazier put the Gators ahead to stay. Every time Anderson got the ball near the UCLA basket, he found himself with at least two Gators trying to smother him. Youth Mavericks Jerseys . Like a magic trick, the puck popped out behind Stalock in the San Jose net. While Sharks coach Todd McLellan decried the legality of the tiebreaking goal, the Los Angeles Kings celebrated their latest, greatest escape yet. Discount Mavericks Jerseys . -- Edwin Encarnacion hit a three-run homer, Colby Rasmus drove in two runs and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Detroit Tigers 9-4 on Saturday. http://www.cheapmavericksjerseyschina.com/jalen-brunson-jersey/ . On Thursday, they signed former Browns linebacker DQwell Jackson. Terms of the deal were not immediately available.How far can the Dallas Cowboys go? Well because it is so simple you can say as far as any team that enters the playoffs. In watching the 42-7 win over the Colts you notice the Cowboys have five different running plays that they run their entire offence out of - only five. Often a defence knows a certain run play is coming but because it is executed so well you still cant stop it. Basically, Dallas is a pure power running team and the comparisons to the Jimmy Johnson days of success are very relevant. When you have a limited number of run plays it is easy to adjust if a surprise defence appears pre-snap. What is difficult is when your play book is three inches thick going into every game and you playing a defence that has multiple and many stunts fronts and adjustments. It creates too much thinking and not enough just playing. Sometimes offensive coordinators out-think themselves because they are trying to earn their paycheck and be productive. But the best offences match talent with plays and the talent that Dallas has matches the plays. It is the same on defences - simple. Four man front with basic blitzes and coverages. The difference? Effort. Many comments have been made about Cowboys effort on defence and it is true. Rod Marinelli as a defensive coordinator has his guys so aware of effort on every play they dont think as much as go, and thats good. Effort on defence wears an offence out when sustained for four quarters and every play. It works. Simple plays that make sense and great effort. Dallas has found that balance between complexity and simplicity and in the 42-7 win it showed. -- In Arizona, after a while I was really pulling for Ryan Lindley at quarterback. Sometimes the best make it look easy and Lindleys inability to throw the deep ball was painfull to watch. Every 10 yards downfield the throws become harder and more difficult because the window between receiver and defensive back and linebacker is easier to close because the ball stays in the air longer. I have asked quarterbacks and offensive coaches if accuracy is something you can teach to perfection or a gift that can only be refined. For the most part it is a gift. That is usually the response. Even by drilling it over and over you can improve but only so much, I have been told. It looks like Logan Thomas will start against the 49ers for Arizona at Levis Stadium. Thomas is a fourth-round draft pick out of Virginia Tech and is a 6-foot-6, 248 lbs. monster of potential. They are hoping he is the next Colin Kaepernick athletically but does he have accuracy andd, most importantly, accuracy under pass-rush pressure. Mavericks Jerseys From China. . Joe Montana was not a big guy, neither are many NFL quarterbacks, but theyre accurate. It is more important than anything else. -- In Detroit, I have no idea what Dominic Raiola was thinking. He stomped on the ankle of Ego Ferguson, the defensive tackle of the Bears, in an open area easy to see by all. Why? Something must of been said or something done to respond but look at the consequences. Raiola suspended for a game and the game is in Green Bay for the NFC North title and a first-round bye in the playoffs. Also Ziggy Ansah, who put Jimmy Clausen out for next week on a play that looked like targeting to the head. Ansah is going to be a star but again was it accidental or intention? We will never know. -- In Cleveland, the season is over for Johnny Manziel and it was a disaster. You have to wonder if the hype clouded sensibility when the Browns drafted him way back in May of last year. He did play at a high level in collage and maybe, maybe next year will show Russell Wilson skills - the composure, the maturity, the intelligent elusiveness and accurate throws - consistently. The good news is that it will never get any tougher than the year most recently experienced and all players tend to improve significantly from their first to second year. It just shows how much of the NFL draft is an educated guessing game. There were those of respected opinion that were convinced Manziel was the next great thing in the world of football. Next year will be the year where patience and teaching have to be seen on the field in performance and consistency. -- Every week - and were entering week 17 - there is at least one game that makes no sense. A game that when you look at the final score you have to look twice because it destroys everything anticipated. How Houston beat Baltimore 25-13 I do not understand. Houston needed everything to work out to be a playoff team and for Baltimore it was win three and you should be in. Joe Flacco had to throw 50 times and only had 195 yards. Case Keenum, who was signed Monday, did enough to move the Texans to 8-7. It Makes no sense. -- And finally, Monday night football - Denver at Cincinnati. Andy Dalton went into the game 2-9 in high profile or playoff games. Well after the Bengals victory he is 3-9 and if he wins next week in Pittsburgh he would be 4-9. If the Bengals can win their first playoff game, make it 5-9. Playoffs start now for Cincinnati and Andy Dalton.
