Final Game

Actually, by the time the game was set to tip had told my father that I had been wrong. "After seeing UCLA the past 2 saturdays (in particular a 3 dunk sequence to begin the 2nd half verses LSU), and recalling that Florida had been racked in the top 10 for much of the season and had even gotten to no. 1 at one point, including

I can be ok with one of these 2 teams winning the championship this season. I do not cheer for either of these teams, but I can accept that they will go down/be remembered/historically present themselves as the best team this season in college basketball
Not to mention that both teams won their conference this season.
And no one else can boast a 5 game win streak now.

So like it or not, I settled in to see what I was also certain to be a competative game.

Noah and Brewster were the best two players on the court and UCLA kept having their shots blocked. I wasn't like it was when the watching Jabbar and Walton played and UCLA dominated title games. This was Noah's night of no-no's. So many blocked shots from Florida's gang of ball swatters, that phantom pump-fakes slowed stretches of UCLA's failed comeback.

It was like testing day in gym class for Florida on offense in the 2nd half tonight. A race to see who could do the most pull-ups on the rim. The vaunted Bruin defense was overpowered down low early and often throughout the game. Florida got to the rim when and how they wanted to, and erased such opportunities on the other end.

I hate that fight song. May it be Florida's first and last NCAA championship.
