Florida Wins Men’s NCAA Championship

On Monday night, Florida won the men’s NCAA Championship for the first time in over a decade.

For the first time in 18-years the Gators won the title after defeating Houston 65-63.

Florida came back from a double digit deficit to take the lead in the final minute of the game.

The title-game thriller was not decided until Walter Clayton Jr. stopped the Cougars’ Emanuel Sharp from taking a game-winning three pointer at the buzzer.

The victory marked the Gator’s third NCAA Tournament Championship win and first since the back-to-back championships of 2006 and 2007.
