Miller would not tip his hand on his professional future Sunday after helping lead Florida to the Final Four over Oklahoma State. It has long been speculated that Miller would turn professional after this season. The 6-foot-8 forward led the Gators in scoring this season averaging 14.3 points.

"I plead the fifth," Miller told reporters after Florida's 77-65 victory. "You can never go wrong pleading the fifth."

Miller has played virtually every position this season for the Gators, who are headed to the Final Four for the second time in six years. His versatility would be a plus in the NBA where 6-foot-8 forwards who can handle the ball like a point guard would be valued.

Miller, from Mitchell, S.D., was one of the first players to commit to Florida two years ago when coach Billy Donovan began turning around the program. He was followed quickly by guard Ted Dupay.

"We all love hoops and we all like doing the same thing," Miller said. "We were all gym rats."

Miller played a team-high 30 minutes Sunday and led the Gators with 14 points. After Oklahoma State had cut a 17-point lead down to three with 7:57 left, Miller combined with Dupay to put the game away. Dupay was fouled and hit a one-and-one. Miller did the same moments later and followed it with a 3 that pushed the lead to 63-53.

"So many things can change in the world of college athletics," Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley said. "One day you've got 10 guys together and you hear about Mike going out or someone may get hurt. You should enjoy the moment."

Phi Slamma Donnell

It was a glimpse of even greater things at Florida.

Freshman forward Donnell Harvey entered the game late and put on a brief but brilliant one-man show. Harvey, at 6-foot-8, scored five of his 10 points in a 90-second span. His final basket brought the crowd of 30,388 out of their seats. Harvey blew past a defender, down the lane and slammed in a reverberating left-handed dunk.

"I took a power dribble to the basket and took off from a good ways back," he said. "It's easy to get myself going."

Harvey came to Florida as one national publication's high school player of the year. He was a big-time rebounder at Randolph Clay High School in Shellman, Ga. with a wingspan of 90 inches.

Donovan has been easing him into the lineup this season (nine starts, 10.4-point average) but Sunday showed what he can do in the future.

"I feel all of us are veterans now," Harvey said. "I knew I wasn't going to be the man here because of style of play. Worrying about minutes would be selfish. I didn't want to be on a team that scored all kinds of points and all kind of rebounds and didn't win."

Notes

• Oklahoma State's Desmond Mason set a school record starting 129 consecutive games. He ended, though, with a whimper, scoring only nine points on 2 of 8 shooting.
• Guard Doug Gottlieb went scoreless in his final game. The 41-percent shooter isn't much of a marksman but he did have seven assists giving him 947 for his career, that's eighth all-time.
• This is the first time since 1996 a No. 5 seed has reached the Final Four.
• Florida's bench outscored opponents this season, 1,117-703. It had a 31-21 advantage on Sunday.
• Miller was named with East region's most outstanding player. He was joined on the all-regional team by teammates Udonis Haslem and Brett Nelson, Oklahoma State's Fredrik Jonzen and Duke's Shane Battier.
• Both Jonzen and teammate Brian Montonati were bothered by stomach ailments before the game. Jonzen was treated for flu-like symptoms on Saturday.
• The combined two-session attendance of 61,069 set a new regional on-campus attendance record.
• This marks the ninth time in the last 15 years that at least one SEC team has made the Final Four.
