Are you shitting me?

 

[Janus]

What a game, Houston looked lost to get that shot off. Horrible way to lose but hey Florida played to win too.

 

[H2S]

Wasn't supposed to care... but it turned out to be a pretty exciting game. Congratulations Gator Nation.

Why couldn’t he have picked up the ball? He hadn’t dribbled yet.

You can only leave your feet to pass or shoot

Someone else has to touch the ball or it’s a travel

What about a jump stop? That’s illegal?

 

[The Q]

No.

Jumps stop is a stupid anomaly that doesn’t make any sense and just exists

 

[Xeliou66]

Awesome win for us, once again we rallied from a deficit and got enough offense going in the second half to win it all. The Gators are national champions!!!!

 

[The Q]

Sampson is never gonna win a title

That was it

On to 2025-26. All "Way Too Early" Top 25'ss have Houston at #1. Even losing LJ Cryer, J'wan Roberts and Milos Uzan (maybe), Sampson brings in the 2nd ranked recruiting class including a missing big man, 6'10" Chris Cenac. Purdue is a threat if Braden Smith comes back. Duke loses nearly everyone (as usual) but brings in a huge recruiting class (as usual). UCLA and Louisville cleaned up on transfers so far. UConn and BYU signed huge recruiting classes. Florida loses the heart of this team and should sink. But they were only #21 in this seasons preseason poll.

Purdue would be my pre season number one

I’m buying the teams with age and experience

So if karaban comes back I’ll have uconn at 2

Braden Smith projects as a mid 2nd round pick so he should be back. But I've seen players with less potential jump. They had a 7'4" monster, Daniel Jacobsen, who only played two games before he got hurt. Him, with Smith and Fletcher Loyer would be formitable

yup

they are a legit threat to finally finish it....


...but then again, so was hou....

 

[Tainthappening]

Houston last 4 possessions 4 turnovers... not going to win if do not even get a shot off.

Congrats to Florida... Clayton started slow scoring, got it going late.

Their guards can’t dribble and through they were Clayton’s

 

[Clayton]

Florida reminding me a bit of the Mahomes Chiefs championships where they won it all but definitely could have been beaten by 2 or 3 teams had those teams been just a tiny bit clutch.

Great final four imo

 

[redseat]

All of Florida's wins in the tournament were the from behind variety no? Hats off to them.

But you are already in the air... Just shoot!

 

[JDW]

Worst ending ever.

 

[The Q]

Worst ending ever.

It was bad on so many levels

Cryer dribbling…at all


He walks the ball up and wastes time at half court

Two hou players totally half ass their screen and miss causing the issues


Sharpe wusses out


Sharpe and Roberts missed that Roberts had a lob dunk chance if they paid attention at all

Yeah I saw Cryer walking, and I was like RUN you have 16 seconds left!
