Florida vs. Houston: Date, time, TV channel, stream for 2025 NCAA Championship Game.
The men’s March Madness tournament has boiled down to two teams: No. 1 Florida vs No. 1 Houston.
Florida punched its ticket to the national championship first on Saturday. The Gators trailed at halftime, but rallied in the second to outlast fellow top-seeded Auburn 79-73. Star guard Walter Clayton Jr. recorded 20 of his 34 points in the second half to go with an efficient 11 of 18 clip from the field.
Houston then followed suit. The Cougars won after a last-minute comeback against the Blue Devils, defeating the favored No. 1-seed 70-67.
The Cougars are led by senior guard L.J Cryer, who has an old-school small college guard profile that blends quickness with robust shooting. Emanuel Sharp, Miles Uzan and J’Wan Roberts are the additional double-digit scorers in Kelvin Sampson’s disposal.
