I reject this. Arkansas has more (10 to our 7), but they haven't won an overall team title since 2003. Meanwhile, we have won our 7 all since 2012 (2012, 2013, 2016, 2017, 2022, 2023, 2024). THAT is domination!
GATORS ARE NATIONAL CHAMPS!!!!!

I certainly agree with this. This Gator team played in what many say was the toughest conference in a long time and certainly the best SEC ever.
The team has to come back game after game in the NCAA tournament and could have folded. But they never backed down and now they are immortal with a new banner hanging in the O' Dome.
That is a good article by a very good sports writer.
What cost Houston a championship was the way the handled the last few minutes of the game. They turned the ball over their last four possessions. When the game was on the line they didn't get off a shot. The choke was as bad if not worse than Cooper Flagg's last collegiate shot.
Ball Game. GATORS NATIONAL CHAMPIONS 2025
EDIT: Maybe the Gators extraordinary DEFENSE had something to do with the way Houston played in the final minutes.

sadgator does have a bit of empathy for Emanuel Sharp. Guy was a great player for his team, and it sucks that the focus of losing that game falls on his shoulders. He was obviously devastated, and even though it is awesome to win, you have to feel for a kid in that position.
Luckily, he has another year of eligibility and can return if he chooses.
Damn! I'm gonna miss Will Richard.
Only person to win an intramural championship AND an NCAA Natty!
IIRC UF brought back the two floors from the previous Nattys, one is the one they play on in the ODome and the other is their practice court.
They should totally get this one and put it in Alligator Alley for the intramural games!

I hope I can get a full night's sleep last night. I was so wound up last night I couldn't relax to try to go to sleep until around 2 am and then woke up every hour or so thinking about the game some more. What a ride this team took us on this year!
dude I was still jacked watching the replay and other videos reacting to the game at 3 AM so I just decided to go for a run to finally put myself down after that.. I realized when I woke up today how much of a 1000 pound boulder of stress released from this last month has caused me though for how bad I wanted it for this team.
Are you planning to use your time machine to go back and try it again?
Florida's the national champion -- and the greatest SEC team this century
Florida's amazing comeback against Houston in the national title game cemented the Gators' legacy as the best SEC team this century.

I'd like to use a time machine to go back to about 9 pm last night and live it over and over again
What a great win and a team that wouldn’t just lay down. This team will be remembered. Go Gators!!!
Handlogten snags beer one-handed while holding the trophy. That should have been in the one shining moment video.
Curious myself. I remember that KY team having the real big comeback against Duke but forgot they trailed like that in all those games.
Read in the newspaper today that it was a shame that the game ended that way, with Houston's player dropping the ball, not a great defensive play by Florida.
Now that you mention it, where is Insta?
😂
I did the same thing. I was wide awake at 2:00 am and pulled up YouTube and watched everything related to Gator basketball. These are special nights for a college basketball fan and life is too short to sleep it away.
lol... I do think this championship keeps Stricklin here the next few years even if we parted ways with Napier.
He saw Clayton Jr quickly get in his face as he attempted a 3, but he got triggered from the last time Clayton swatted his earlier 3 point attempt, which ended up in the stands in the 4th row.
The game ended with us as National Champs, can't think of a better ending!
