— Jeff Goodman (@GoodmanHoops) May 5, 2025UConn won back-to-back national championships in 2023 and ’24. Florida ended the Huskies’ 3-peat bid in a Round of 32 thriller.
On March 23, Florida entered as the No. 1 seed in the region and the favorite. No. 8-seed UConn, though, gave the Gators all they could handle.
It was a 31-31 game at the half, and the Huskies led a tight game for much of the 2nd half. Florida did not take a 2nd-half lead until it went up 62-61 with just under 3 minutes to go. In a battle that went down to the final buzzer, the Gators came out on top 77-75 to advance to the Sweet 16 in their national championship run.
Walter Clayton Jr., Alijah Martin and Will Richard were the leaders for Florida in the March matchup. Todd Golden is tasked with replacing all 3 for the 2025-26 roster.
