UFwins. If Duke wins tonight, I hope the Gator NIL collective can sponsor the championship ref crew because otherwise, they will have an uphill battle playing 5-on-8.

I mean there’s a huge gap from the top four to the rest, really. Florida and Auburn being awesome doesn’t mean Oklahoma and Arkansas were awesome.

Well......yeah maybe not overall. But those teams were literally like the 11th and 12th best teams in the SEC and far better than the 11th and 12th best teams in any other conference.

Well I had Florida ( if it wasn't us ...)

they made the title game. Let's see if they can close the deal against dUKe ....

(isn't that a foregone conclusion ?)

I just don't think there's some sizable gap between Duke and the other three teams here.

They are prob the favorite but can lose to either Houston or UF.

Mark my words. He's gonna score 17 points on 21 field goal attempts en route to a loss. I'm worried that in a game like tonight, against good defense, they don't have much other options

But I guess I trust Florida more than Auburn.
Wrong! While everyone has been on the Flagg or Broom player of the year convo. Clayton has been the best player in the country all year.

Happy for Auburn, Pearl, Broome and Baker Mazara.
wonderful year to hang a final four banner for Auburn. The strutting and disrespect along the way was karmic for them. Control that and put it into the game instead, then they may have made the title game. But that humbling always comes in the NCAA tournament.

Brucie and company got what they deserved.

great year. Not the best team even this year. Gators proved they were the best in the loaded SEC this year. If the Gators don't take down dUKe, nobody will.

Why does the losing team pull their jersey up over their face?
It’s almost like they are ashamed of the jersey.

Pearl still wears the number zero jersey. So sad.

Wellness check on Sir Charles?

Everyone likes upsets but it’s pretty damn cool to see the best teams in the last weekend of the tournament.

Either way, national championship is going to be a good game.

It makes for better games at the end IMO.

Usually you see those upsets in the first round and then those teams just end up getting stomped the next round in an uncompetitive game.

This Gator team is more likeable than the 06-07 team.

Congrats Gators! So glad they won! They are a much more likable team than Auburn. This is one of the most likable Florida teams I can ever recall. Just a good group of kids. I will definitely be rooting for them if they meet Duke!
Agree. The only one I don't really like is Golden.

If it is any consolation Kentucky will be 2-0 vs the teams in the final once Duke wins tonight

Duke is so weird on this board lol.
There was sooo many comments about Duke playing in a weak ACC and how that's going to come back to bite them and how unproven they were all season long.

And now they make a final four and everyone is penciling them into the title game.........despite the fact that.....Houston is freaking good lol.
