NATIONAL TITLE GAME

1. Offensive Versatility:

• Florida has shown a high level of offensive depth, with multiple players capable of stepping up on any given night. Their ability to space the floor and shoot from deep, combined with strong inside play, could be a problem for Houston’s defense.

• The Gators’ ball movement and fast-break opportunities might outpace Houston’s more methodical pace. If Florida can push the tempo and create open shots, it could overwhelm the Cougars’ defense. Can they keep up? Or even slow this gators team down…

2. Elite Playmaking:

• Florida has several strong playmakers who can run the offense and make crucial decisions under pressure. Whether it’s creating for teammates or scoring themselves, these players are well-equipped to handle Houston’s defense and make key plays in high-stakes moments.

3 • Size and Physicality:

Florida has a size advantage in the paint or on the boards, this could help them overpower Houston’s frontcourt players. Securing rebounds and limiting second-chance points is often key in a title game.

Florida is a top ten offensive rebounding team in the country. While Houston has an undersized front court that will have trouble with Florida who are great at screening lanes for the guards to drive in the lane, that’s an underrated aspect nobody will say on covers, but its very true Alex Condon is great at creative gaps for guards to drive.

Houston simply has settled for Lj Cryer 27 footers way too much in the season for the run to continue in my eyes and they need to keep Florida under 65p IMO to win this game. That’s a tough ask for a Florida team that has a 136.7 offensive efficiency rating on KENPOM that ranks second all time only behind the 1997 Wisconsin basketball team 

Prediction Florida 74-66

Houston isnt able to run with this Florida team and if Florida can get out in transition it will be a long night for the cougars. Florida just played a team very similar to this Houston team in Auburn, Texas Tech, and Tennessee a team they ended up beating by 40 this year. 

Houstons bench is ice cold and we already saw what this Florida team did to Maryland a team with any bench scoring. If Houston were to get in foul trouble they don’t have a guy off the bench unlike Florida who can throw waves at you off the bench with two more guys in Irvan Klavchar an Sam Alexis

Florida just shut down Petiford so I don’t think they will have an issue keeping Uzan from having a ridiculous stat line he’s been cold especially going up against a guy in Kon Kunippel who he should have been eating against. Florida has Elijah Martin a player who took the FAU owls to a final four a seasons ago. Hes going to be up in his face all game long and for Smart the wing play for Houston I’ll take Will Richard in that matchup as well. 

Florida is the only team in the county that did not double team big men for dagger 3s on kick outs vs Johni Broome The same for Jt Toppin. 

Juwan Robert’s is the only matchup advantage Houston has in this game. 

we’ve seen how Florida handles these type of post up players. They ready for a team like Houston who isn’t going to light up any score board. 

charles Barkley said it perfectly you can’t attempt to run a slower pace against this Florida team unless you are able to turn them over and i highly doubt Walter Clayton is going to go cold in the biggest game of his life after back to back 30+p games of which only Larry Bird, Wilt Chamberlin, and Jerry West has done. That’s it and now Walter Clayton joins that group of players. 

insane stat 

I will be placing 11 units on Florida to win the national title game against Houston. 

$1100 to win $1000

11$ on fla, got it. by the way you're a loser.

See, I never just did things just to do them. Come on, what am I gonna do? Just all of a sudden jump up and grind my feet on somebody's couch like it's something to do? Come on. I got a little more sense then that.

Yeah, I remember grinding my feet on Eddie's couch.

When you call people out, especially the top poster who hit 64% this year  and post this on his thread " none of you know ball"

-a fools lips walk into a fight, and his mouth invites a beating

It sounds so logical , similar to  the fact that '' Duke should win  have won the game yesterday  , just because  they shouldn't have lost the lead at the end of the game''?.

Good luck,

I still haven't decided.
