Clayton aboot to go off

 

[The Gator]

The back up center for Florida (#3) is horrid

air ball from 2 feet, then bricks two FT. w00f

 

[Schmeabs]

I would finish 4th in my bracket and win $50 if Florida wins but I find myself cheering for Houston. Actually I want a good game and was cheering for Florida when they were down big.

MAKE UP YOUR MIND!

 

[Desert_Power]

Sharp, what a time to hit that three. Wow.

 

[Jayrod]

Was a bad tournament until the Final 4. We've had 3 great games.

 

[scoobus]

I find myself rooting against Florida because this Richard guy keeps flopping, but good game either way. Let's get a buzzer beater from someone.

 

[Deamon]

I can't breathe.

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

If Houston wins, Condon should be the MVP

 

[dickey moe]

Down to the wire. This one has been a classic.

 

[dickey moe]

Seriously? He's missed a ton of shots in the 2nd half.

 

[Jayrod]

This ref is so uncomfortable on the mic.

Bad joke. Condon plays for Florida and has been sloppy the whole game.

 

[scoobus]

Bring in the challenge system, this is awful, hurry up.

Been clear for weeks, these 4 teams are just so much better than everyone else.

 

[ChiefD]

That high press by florida after half court has been money

 

[Major]

Refs came in with philosophy, well Houston is physical so don't call ANYTHING. At least I can go to bed early.

How's that working out buddy?

 

[Desert_Power]

OMG

 

[Buckna]

Boooooo

 

[scoobus]

Great game.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Easy for me to say I guess, but you gotta just take that contested shot. Great defense by Florida on that last possession though.

 

[Desert_Power]

Great game.

The ball bouncing like that to lose the game...can't say I've seen it before. Crazy.

 

[Major]

That ending was tough to watch

 

[N Zone]

Way to go Cornhuskers for an exciting Crown tournament and winning in the final game!
As for Florida vs Houston. That was boring and terrible and those teams suck. I hate them both.

Great Defense by Florida all around in the last 10 minutes. They turned it up like 10 notches and shut UH down.

 

[Deamon]

regretting the hedge now lol

Was pulling for y'all GB. Especially with Hakeem the Dream sitting courtside.

I'm a total Karen because CBS has ruined One Shining Moment with all the announcer garbage instead of just showing the highlights and playing the music.

I’d rather hear the highlights. The song is terrible.

Nah, we needed Chuck leading into One Shining Moment with a shout out and congratulations to Duke, Flagg, and Scheyer and then his long winded digression about how great Johni Brooke has been for Auburn, and that Chuck will be there when his jersey is retired.

WTF. Use a different time or platform to hype your alma mater you dope.

I admitted to being a Karen

 

[Capella]

Knew Florida had it when they got down 12. Crazy how they came back in so many games this tourney.

Funny as I was on the opposite side of this. Warned my friends who started to celebrate early that UH needs to step on their neck or UF is capable of a comeback. Feel bad for Sampson. Really wanted the old man to get his first title.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

That was not an artistic masterpiece, but it was wildly entertaining.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Houston chokes away a 12 point lead, Gators until the very end had the lead almost never during that game
How does Houston not get a shot off and why was there no play call with 19 seconds left down 2?
Try taking it to the hole and at least getting fouled and go from there.
Other than there being stakes that mattered at the end it was a pretty bad game poorly played.
I watched Florida once have 4 on none on a breakaway as Houston player conceded the bucket and they still missed it

That said in my lifetime the Gators are now a blue blood with 3 titles in the last 20 years
They belong up there with Duke, NC, UConn, younger generations only know them as winners and one of the heavyweights in college basketball.

I, too, was amused. He was brutal for most of that game.

I also enjoy the pun opportunities with his name....

"Condon slipped off the screen....."
"Condon really broke through with penetration....."
"Condon is so slippery going down low..."

I'll see myself out.

Also 8 elite eight appearances in that 20 year stretch.

Its Great to be a Florida Gator!!!!

I misread the Houston part of the joke

Here's a guy on Twitter reporting that BYU is going to pay Rob Wright $3.5m. I love this chaos.

https://x.com/GrayGrundhoefer/status/1909757398048178183

edit to clarify - of course BYU isn't paying Wright to play basketball because that is prohibited. They're paying for use of his considerably valuable name, image and likeness and just hoping that he chooses to play basketball at BYU. What else is a black kid from Delawre via Alabama supposed to do in Provo?

Soaking and Jump-humping?

Alex Condon returning to Florida.

So Gators got all of their bigs back and got all 3 of their primary transfer targets at guard.

Houston and Florida will likely be preseason #1/#2 again.

Fun fact of the day. Florida has never not repeated as national champs in basketball.
