00:00at the end of this college basketball season 40 total games played by the gators in four to one

00:0636 of them they covered in their final two in the final four against their sec mate in auburn

00:11and of course ever so slightly in a national championship contest last night against houston

00:17the best high major cover team in college hoops but we look at the preseason odds outlook for uf

00:24a 60 to one number not even inside the top 15 or even inside the top 20 how did the gators in year

00:33number three in gainesville under todd golden figured things out this season to become the

00:38most dangerous and most successful team in college basket you know i talked about it last night was

00:43houston but florida's the same thing they had experience i think they had seven of nine guys

00:48returned from last year's team they supplemented through the portal and not wait and got everyone

00:55out of the portal and listen the reason why they were also so disrespected let's be honest

00:59is if i'm not mistaken first team to win a championship without a top 100 recruit on their

01:05roster so they didn't have the sexy names that really uh made people think that they could make

01:11a run but they had togetherness they had depth and at the end of the day when you win a tournament

01:16like this kind of like dante divincenzo goes off when villanova won you had to have other guys step

01:22up real richard was absolutely fantastic i mean i think he was only gonna hit a three in the first

01:26half of the game so you know you had contributions up and down the roster instead of just leaning on

01:33one guy like a walter clayton jr which is impressive because i thought it was gonna go the other way

01:38houston kind of freaking him choosing who would be the guy but what a great job by todd golden of the

01:45first national championship since billy donovan 39 years old yeah and showing himself to be

01:49one of the best coaches in college basketball today
