The discrepancy was obvious between the twenty minutes coming out of halftime. Four fouls were called in the first half before 26 were called for in the second, including five immediately on the Gators in just over the two and a half minutes coming out of the break that resulted in a controversial technical foul on their bench. Add in a no-call on a pretty clear goal tend, which ended up making a difference in a two-point margin, and the outing ended up earning criticism for the officials before it was over with. Swallowing your whistle shouldn't be the plan for the Refs, maybe they could have called more in the 1st half. That's a huge discrepancy. Baseball players get an idea of the strike zone, it would be completely wrong if it changed as much as the 1st & 2nd half did here. Ironic, that the game ends because the Houston player knew it would be a double-dribble if he touched the ball in the last seconds, so could only stand and watch.

They are. But last night, Florida was better. Florida shot 39.6 from the field, 25% on 3's. Houston shot 34.8% from the field, 24% on 3's. Florida did have 13 TO's, compared to 9 for Houston, but the Gators won the battle on the boards, 40 to 39.

Great tournament. Shows why March Madness is absolutely the best event in sports!!

Florida wins, 65-63!

Houston dribbles the ball out of bounds. Florida has the ball and a 1 point lead, 26.6 left. Free throws for Florida, misses the first, makes the 2nd. Florida 65 63. 19.7 left.

Free throws give Florida the lead for the first time since it was 8-6. 46.5 left.

Alright, Clayton just scored his first points of the game, with 7:54 left, and can tie it up with a free throw. Tied.

31- 28. Houston. The game is being controlled by Houston. playing their tempo, more attempted shots, but Florida has more rebounds, Florida also has more turnovers, and 0 points from Clayton.

Midway through the 1st half, Houston leads 16-10, 22 shots attempted, 12 for Florida.

Due to their defense, rebounding, Houston averages 10 shot attempts more than their opponents, if Florida can cut that by half, that's a win.

There really is no comparison between the NCAA treatment of "$Cam Newton-Auburn & Reggie Bush -USC. USC was hit with sanctions, Bush had his Heisman taken away, what did the NCAA do to Auburn-Newton?

How did I leave Red out????

This is what is so illogical about UW's wailing about "PK's$$$ buying Oregon the championship!" What championship? Oregon has the pain of being so close, but no cigar, that, and ten they throw in that sure UW could get the facilities, get the NIL money, but the UW is noble, it's about the student-athlete. Softy wants to win. The right way.

It's not to the level of Washington, who truly savor an Oregon loss nearly as much a Washington win, but osu2 is getting there. There were some remarks on "12 Warriors" about PK. It got better for them after the Rose Bowl. But they will never have any respect for the little school from Oregon...they won't even give Washington a thought.

I do too, and I think that his game will improve with more consistent minutes, stronger can be worked on during the offseason, skill can be refined, sharpened.

If defense does win championships. my pick of Florida is in trouble, and usually a team is more successful slowing a game down, rather than the other team speeding it up. So, what possible chance does Florida have?

I agree, but it's NIL which makes it an obvious choice for Shelstad, I think Bittle will also find his NBA stock would increase with another solid year at Oregon.

This is good news! Still waiting on Evans.

That came through loud and clear after the Vandy win over Alabama. A SEC "fan" should have celebrated the win, blabbered on about the depth & quality of the conference. But all Finebaum could do was throw DeBoer under the bus.
