Florida vs Houston NC game thread

[dtrumpet]

So inept on offense, the moment was way too big for Houston.

Sharp thought if he touched the ball it would be a travel?

 

[Drame]

Horrible.. what a way to lose. Houston's offense really crapped the bed.

Well, at least we can say we lost to the national champion

We should have beaten them

 

[Scoe]

At least we actually ya know shot the ball.

By a bucket

Not even a shot, lame. Just goes to show you, that the road to the National Championship goes through UConn.

BIG XII !!!!!

Hilarious Houston down the stretch
Huge case of lemon booty. I’m shocked

Florida has 3 titles now - tied with Nova and Louisville (sort of)

Clayton should've kept the ball to get fouled. He got really lucky he didn't turn it over on the pass and then Aberdeen went 1 of 2. Houston barfed all over themselves the final possession and in the final minutes.

It was a fun game but that was a gross last few minutes.

UConn last year would destroy these teams.

I don’t know why people keep talking about UConn last year vs these two teams. What is the relevance?? They both would have killed our 2014 team. So what??

THIS year we lost to FL…..that is all that matters

That end of game offense looked awfully familiar

 

[superjohn]

How many times can FL escape in one tourney?

Weak national chanpions but they're national champions. It's hilarious Duke didn't win this tournament. Scheyer will be answering for that his entire career.

The announcers thought that, too.

It would have.

Wow Golden really talks like a total d bag

 

[CTBasketball]

Refs opened the rule book to grabbing, holding, and shoving the last 3 minutes.

 

[Jaker]

Kelvin Sanction sooo close

 

[Kolumbo]

What an awful way to lose the game. So he threw the ball down because he was going to get blocked. Are we sure he couldn't have picked it up again and it would be considered a dribble, or was it considered a pass?

So close to beating Florida. People would really hate UConn had we done the threepeat but it's clear that only 1 team can say it was better than Florida this year.

 

[SportsFan88]

Houston blew it

 

[Ripper32]

Can't believe they didn't run more action into the post. Florida was overwhelming the perimeter screens.

 

[RichCTBB]

Golden is C Thomas Howell circa Kings of the Beach

He must have thought it would be up and down travel.

 

[JakeTheDog]

After this I don’t know if Sampson will ever break through. The look on his face the last few possessions tell the story of a man who could see his dream forming and then falling apart before his very eyes within minutes. He’s a good coach but tonight he choked.

It's a double dribble
