00:00of course 65-63 was the final last night cougars had a chance of course they had a couple of
00:07possessions in the final seconds problem is scotty didn't get a shot off uh here's the final one on
00:14westwood one sports crier staring at will richard hands it off now to yuzan yuzan on the right hand
00:20wing stops with seven seconds gives it to crier six seconds to go five seconds to sharp top of
00:25the key lost the dribble he's got to pick it up it's scooped up by condon condon secures it and
00:30florida found a way from 12 down to the school's third national championship in men's basketball
00:4065-63 the final the florida gators are the national champions once again yeah i don't think that dude
00:50knew what he was talking about uh i don't he said he got to pick it up he can't pick it up
00:56you cannot touch that ball it's automatically a turnover and they're the game's over i thought
01:02he called it wrong he didn't know what he was talking about he he's a great play-by-play guy
01:06i don't even know who it is calling a great game but he didn't know the rule he didn't know what he
01:11was dealing with there that was a walk you touch the ball that's it he didn't know the rule i agree
01:16there in that spot and that's kugler who does uh westwood one uh with the final four it is but
01:22you know what i thought about it there was one thing where maybe he should have just for this
01:28the clock's just running down like at least if you touch it it stops the clock and you could foul them
01:35with maybe four or five seconds left and i know i'm just i'm trying to extend the game at that point
01:41as much as i can i think that's what james did touch the ball and then you're gonna get two free
01:47throws yeah because there were there were already 25 fouls called they were both in the double bonus
01:53you're shooting two up to you make one it's automatic you have to you have to shoot a three
02:00full court pass inbounds you make both the game's over either way i don't think i think in that moment
02:06the game was so intense and it was such a it was such an f-up moment to go up to shoot couldn't
02:14shoot and had to drop the ball knowing i have seen it happen in games i've been in games where it's
02:22happened all the time that same you know defensive move to block a guy and he's going up to shoot and
02:29he knows he's not going to get the shot off and he drops the ball and tries to avoid it being blocked
02:35and he knows he can't touch it again i've seen it happen a million times i just haven't seen it in
02:40a you know ncaa championship game in the last second yeah it was it was a it was a weird play
02:48uh but the clock goes down and the gators win it third national title for florida they only led for
02:55one minute and four seconds in the entire game uh but they end up getting it done here is head coach
03:01todd golden on the turnaround in the second half at halftime just looking at the numbers uh the only
03:07thing that really stood out that was a big issue was our turnovers and i thought we had some
03:11uncharacteristic turnovers i thought some of those uh majority of those nine turnovers were were not
03:16forced you know they were just you know either poor decisions or being sped up offensively and uh you
03:22know we just needed to kind of calm down obviously houston is the best defensive team in america by the
03:26numbers and we knew it wasn't going to be easy to score on them we still weren't able to get up and
03:29down too much in the second half but we scored 37 uh we we were able to knock down our free throws
03:34and we just took much better care of the basketball listen i can't believe where this guy's come from
03:40columbia to winning a national championship at his age i mean uh he's gonna be rich he already is but
03:49now he's really gonna be rich once you win that thing it's all over you know what he is basically
03:54he's on the same footing no one will agree with us but with tom iso he won a title that's it that's
04:01all iso has is one this kid's already got when he's 39 yeah he's 39 he's gonna be 40 in july so
04:09he's already got himself a championship he's the youngest coach to win uh the tournament since jim
04:15valvano youngest coach since they expanded to 64 teams so uh what a victory for golden here he is
04:22talking about this said subject being the youngest coach i mean i'm super proud obviously um but i'm
04:30just a piece of this puzzle you know i've been able to put together incredible staff and and recruit
04:35great student athletes over these last three years and uh um you know we we've stayed the course all
04:40year and and worked really hard and um you know uh my best answer is i'm just really proud you know
04:45i'm proud to be the head coach of florida i'm proud of the way our players performed and uh
04:49i'm proud of the way our staff prepared our guys to to become national champions listen this guy was
04:54uh a uh he's the youngest b he was he's jewish c he was at columbia he was nobody d he went to uh
05:05florida and he's been accused of all kinds of you know title nine and harassment sexual
05:12accusations against him he got cleared of all of that and then still in the midst of all that went
05:20out and won a national championship i mean it's like a movie
05:24you
