Florida led for just 64 seconds on Monday night, but it was the right 64 seconds.
And, thanks to a big finish from Walter Clayton Jr., the Gators are national champions.
Clayton Jr. helped lead Florida on a huge comeback win on Monday to secure a 65-63 win over Houston in the national championship game at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. While he got off to an incredibly slow start in the title game, Clayton was still named the Final Four's Most Outstanding Player.
Clayton, who went more than 25 minutes without scoring, finished with 11 points and seven assists in the win for the Gators.
