“Clash of Titans: Can the Gators Snatch Victory from the Cougars’ Claws in the 2025 National Championship Showdown?”
Then Houston pulled off the shocker of the tournament by upsetting the Duke Blue Devils 70-67 as +5 underdogs. The shocking part wasn’t the Cougars winning, it was how they did it. Duke looked like the better team for 39 minutes, leading by as many as 14 points. But, between missed free throws, sketchy officiating, and brain farts, the Blue Devils choked the game away.Â
Duke is a tougher matchup because of its size and is a better team than Florida. So, if the Cougars can find a way to beat the Blue Devils, they should beat the Gators too. Three of Houston’s four losses this season have been in overtime, and it hasn’t lost in regulation since Nov. 9, 2024, to Auburn 74-69.Â
