“Clash of Titans: Can the Gators Snatch Victory from the Cougars’ Claws in the 2025 National Championship Showdown?”
Furthermore, 3-point shooting and the “battle for possessions” are the most important things in basketball, and the Cougars have the edge in both. They lead the nation in 3-point shooting rate. Houston’s three leaders in 3-point attempts per game all shoot above 40% from behind the arc, while Florida doesn’t have anyone shooting better than 40% from deep.Â
Lastly, the Cougars are 20th in offensive turnover rate (TOV%) and 24th defensively, and lead the nation in defensive rating, per Ken Pom. Florida is 75th in offensive TOV% and 201st in defensive TOV%. As we saw with Houston in the Final Four, it finds a way to hit 3-pointers when needed and forces opponents into making mistakes with aggressive defense.Â
