# **Men's March Madness: The Road Ends Here**  


The 2025 NCAA Men's Tournament has been a rollercoaster of upsets, buzzer-beaters, and unforgettable moments. What started with 68 teams dreaming of cutting down the nets in San Antonio is now down to just two—**Florida** and **Houston**—who will battle for the national championship on Monday night.  


### **Final Four Shake-Up**  

Saturday’s national semifinals delivered heartbreak for the top seeds, as both **Auburn** and **Duke** fell short of the title game.  


- **Florida** stunned No. 1 overall seed Auburn in a thrilling first game, proving that experience and clutch play can overcome a dominant regular-season team.  

- **Houston** then outlasted Duke in a defensive battle, silencing the Blue Devils' hopes of another championship under Coach Jon Scheyer.  


Now, the Gators and Cougars—two programs with rich basketball traditions—will face off in what promises to be an epic showdown.  


### **Championship Game Preview**  

- **Florida** brings a balanced attack, led by a veteran backcourt and a relentless defense that has stifled opponents all tournament.  

- **Houston**, known for its physicality and elite perimeter defense, will look to impose its will and slow down Florida’s offensive rhythm.  


Both teams have fought through tough brackets to get here, and neither will back down when the stakes are highest.  


### **What’s Next?**  

One team will cut down the nets Monday night, etching its name in March Madness history. Will it be Florida adding another title to its 2006 and 2007 championships? Or will Houston complete its redemption arc after falling short in recent years?  


**Stay tuned—the madness isn’t over yet.**
