OU basketball: Q&A with Lon Kruger on 25th anniversary of Florida Final Four

NORMAN — Twenty-five years ago, a young Lon Kruger cut down the nets in Miami after his Florida Gators beat Boston College in the East Regional finals.

Florida, with Kruger in his fourth season as coach, was headed to the program’s first Final Four.

That Gator squad was led by guards Craig Brown and Dan Cross and big men Andrew DeClercq and Dametri Hill. Florida fell to Duke in the national semifinal.

Kruger will coach in his 19th NCAA Tournament when OU tips off against Ole Miss on Friday in Columbia, South Carolina.
