The Florida Gators completed a remarkable run through the 2025 NCAA Tournament, overcoming a 12-point deficit to secure a 65-63 victory against Houston in the championship game. This comeback marks one of the largest in national championship history and exemplifies the tenacity of the Gators throughout the tournament.

Florida faced significant challenges, rallying from second-half deficits in crucial matches against UConn, Texas Tech, and Auburn, ultimately narrowly leading in the title game but delivering exceptional plays when it mattered most.

As part of the triumph, the team celebrated with the traditional viewing of “One Shining Moment,” capturing defining highlights from the gripping tournament.

In addition to the coveted championship trophy and adoration from fans at the San Antonio venue, the Gators’ victory cements their name alongside UConn as the only teams with three or more national titles in the last two decades. Additionally, Todd Golden becomes the youngest coach (at age 39) to win a national title since Jim Valvano in 1983.
