My bracket had all four 1s; and I had Florida over Houston for the title
The way it happened I’m not sure Houston can be beaten as a team of destiny now
But I hope Florida wins so I can win one of my pools. I’ll take the $100

Rooting for UH, but I think UF is better. Go Cougs.

Final four teams are all the peak of talent. But Houston has the toughness edge

The way they strangled Tenn in the first half of the previous game was an eye opener.

I was on Texas Tech. Add that to my other list of heartbreakers that screwed up my postseason.
ILL v UK
Miss v MichSt
There is a lot of public money and bracket picks on UF. Better to go the other way. UF was way overrepresented in bracket picks - not a good sign.

I’m not sure why quite a number of people overlooked Florida for Duke and Auburn anyway.
Florida has just responded in the clutch time after time. They’re a 2nd half team and Clayton Jr is the best clutch player in college basketball
Smart money was on Florida because they rolled through the “toughest basketball conference ever” tournament. They’re tested talented and have the best player
Houston is tested experienced and really tough. Should be a great game

tend to be a contrarian and taking UF is the much more "comfortable" position, therefore it is a likely to be incorrect or overpriced as far as the sportsbooks are concerned and the Gators are 1 point favorites.
But yeah, Clayton in the last two minutes against Texas Tech was some of the best tourney heroics I've ever seen. Perhaps Mario Chalmers for Kansas versus Memphis comes close. Bill Self has two of the greatest comebacks ever.
I'm on Houston. But they have slow down Clayton.
