    Earning their ticket with a spirited win over Auburn in the Final Four, the Florida Gators will now set their sights towards the ultimate goal–the National Championship game against the Houston Cougars.

    Heading into the NCAA Tournament, two of the hottest teams that everyone was picking in their bracket was Florida on the “left” side and Duke in the “right.” Florida was a team that was playing their best basketball heading into the postseason, and Duke was right there with them–though their hot stretch went a little further back, having only 1 loss since the end of November. It really looked like it was going to be the Blue Devils to join the Gators in the National Championship as they were up on the Cougars 59-45 with just over eight minutes remaining, and with all the momentum in their favor.

    Then, everything changed.

    I expect Houston to key on Clayton and harass him and foul him even if the fouls get called (will they?) in order to disrupt our offense. Who will step up?

    Just remember, their 3 guards all shoot above 40% from the arc. We've got to guard them tightly as well. On top of that we've got to box out and be tenacious on the boards because Houston rebounds extremely well and gets a lot of 2nd chance points. That's where a lot of their 3's come from. We, also, can't let them turn us over and we have to get fast break points at every opportunity. They want to slow the game down, limit possessions and we can't drift into their style of play.
