MBB OGT: NCAA Tournament FINAL FOUR -- (1) Auburn vs (1) FLORIDA --April 5, 2025 -- 6:09 PM [CBS]

I am honestly so proud of that team. Maybe more so than any team since the 04s went back-to-back (and I mean any team, including national title or championship teams in a bunch of sports that I watch). To fight through a team as good as Auburn with the refs that we had to fight through as well. I honestly had a bit of a tear in my eye at the end of that with that effort. Trying to decide if I want to get on a plane tomorrow to San Antonio.

 

Didn't Chinny also get the game sealing rebound against UConn? Huge substiutions by Golden.

 

He definitely impacts the game far more than just scoring. Outside of Clayton and Martin the rest of the team scored ,15 points, but, they all made major contributions.

Edit: I no do good math and thought score was different, but, still shit the bed on the mouth. My apologies, boys.

 

Good luck with the refs calling it for the Gators.

 

Great win of all time with the issues...Condon may still be hurt, some uncharacteristic free throw shooting
..and a ridiculously bad game from the refs.

this team has heart.

 

Rueben was three to four foot higher when he skied for that rebound. He has been the inside assassin that gets fouls called on him when he actually is just an oak tree you can’t get over. Lol
Love him and the physicality he brings. Go Rueben Chineylu!

 

When they finish this thing off I'm going to get this framed and hung in our game room.

 

One more week, then start believing.

 

So proud of our Gators, had to battle not only Auburn but the refs too.

My god, Walter is Superman!

All hail the mighty Gators!

35 - 4!

 

Martin is like a Baracuda to an injured bait fish when there is a loose ball. Auburn knew, after he got two runaway dunks, they were in trouble.

 

Unlike Duke and Houston

 

Houston hasn’t lost yet

 

He was fouled on the floor way before the shot. No call, of course. Then fouled again on the shot. They had to call that.

 

Eligah once again coming up big and rattling the cage.

 

In that second half, we were +9 on the glass, forced 12 turnovers, stayed the course not helping off shooters, contested everything at the rim.

 

Yes. Auburn really bothered our bigs, and Richard and Aberdeen couldn't get their shots down against their perimeter length and physicality. But everyone, absolutely everyone, played with their hair on fire in the second half. So many big plays across the board, turning them over, contesting shots, getting boards, getting out in transition, moving the ball.
