Officiating is [nonsense].

Let it get out of hand early.

Now they're calling ticky tac stuff.

[nonsense] officiating for a national title game.

NCAA couldn't run a lemonade stand.

The announcers need to stop officiating.

Both offensives look offensive.

Florida didn't play their best but it was good enough.

Houston reminded me of some old time teams that played together for a long time. They are really organized and on defense they all hold all the time and restrict movement by the offense. They had Clayton so frazzled I thought he would have a stroke, but he came through in the end.

Florida's defense down the stretch was vicious. Like white on rice. Congrats.

Mizzou beat this Florida team on their floor. Guess anything is possible, but lately they have not even won first round games against mid majors. Hope they can get a stud big man and a sharpshooter and go with it.

Florida certainly hit 100 buzzer beaters by hiring Golden. He outcoached a really good coach last night to win the title.

That defense was on par with Houston's last night. Houston's last 3 possessions all ended in turnovers. The Gators caused those turnovers. That's coaching. Their defense is so improved over last year.

The Gators had 9 turnovers in the first half to just 1 for Houston. It totally turned around in the 2nd half, when the Gators only had 4 turnovers to 8 for Houston. Adjustments were made.

And his play calling out of timeouts was outstanding. It seemed they scored just about every time when they had the ball out of a timeout.

Golden is only 39 and has a title. Look out below.

Mizzou forced 1.1 less turnovers per game than Iowa St, who led all P4 programs.

And Mizzou was also top 25 in turnover margin nationally, which was the same as the Cyclones.
