00:00
at the end of this college basketball season 40 total games played by the gators in four to one
00:06
36 of them they covered in their final two in the final four against their sec mate in auburn
00:11
and of course ever so slightly in a national championship contest last night against houston
00:17
the best high major cover team in college hoops but we look at the preseason odds outlook for uf
00:24
a 60 to one number not even inside the top 15 or even inside the top 20 how did the gators in year
00:33
number three in gainesville under todd golden figured things out this season to become the
00:38
most dangerous and most successful team in college basket you know i talked about it last night was
00:43
houston but florida's the same thing they had experience i think they had seven of nine guys
00:48
returned from last year's team they supplemented through the portal and not wait and got everyone
00:55
out of the portal and listen the reason why they were also so disrespected let's be honest
00:59
is if i'm not mistaken first team to win a championship without a top 100 recruit on their
01:05
roster so they didn't have the sexy names that really uh made people think that they could make
01:11
a run but they had togetherness they had depth and at the end of the day when you win a tournament
01:16
like this kind of like dante divincenzo goes off when villanova won you had to have other guys step
01:22
up real richard was absolutely fantastic i mean i think he was only gonna hit a three in the first
01:26
half of the game so you know you had contributions up and down the roster instead of just leaning on
01:33
one guy like a walter clayton jr which is impressive because i thought it was gonna go the other way
01:38
houston kind of freaking him choosing who would be the guy but what a great job by todd golden of the
01:45
first national championship since billy donovan 39 years old yeah and showing himself to be
01:49
one of the best coaches in college basketball today
