    I am a fan of Aberdeen, but I have to admit, I did have this urge during the game to snip off a couple of zell's braids to make sure he wasn't cutting off peripheral vision. Most of the time he wears them up, no?

    I was hoping that somehow the Gators would be alive and that the rest of this bunch would not. Fact is that if the Gators win tomorrow night, they will have one of the most impressive tourney showings ever. This is my list of title contenders/threats and FL will have faced four of them.

    Duke
    Auburn

    Houston
    Tennessee
    Bama
    Texas Tech
    Mich St
    Maryland
    Kentucky
    Arizona
    Missouri
    Wisconsin
    Clemson

    While the word "choke" is harsh and does undervalue Houstons amazing win, this is exactly the term Duke You tubers are using to describe the loss, especially the last 10 minutes.

    I fully recognize Houston is a great team,
    The number 1 defensive team, and are a very formidable opponent for UF. The Gators will be fortunate to defeat them.

    In fact, there's never been an NCAA Tournament loss like it. Houston's double-digit comeback has rare March Madness company, but the overall scope of the game had never happened before.

    Duke led Houston in these five specific statistical categories:

    • Field goal percentage: 39.6 to 37.7
    • Free throw attempts: 23 to 18
    • Assists: 14 to 10
    • Fewer turnovers: 7 to 9
    • Steals: 7 to 6
    In NCAA Tournament history, teams that won all five of those statistical categories in a game were 335-0. Were. It's now 335-1.

    I attended both U of H and Florida so this game is a win win for me, I’ve said all year how would Fla hold up against Houston’s d and how would Houston hold up against Florida’s offense when I finally get to see the results. Btw I live in the ATL so I would like to see Fla win
