A relatively mundane men’s NCAA Tournament was playing to script late Saturday night at the Alamodome, another boring double-digit Duke win to digest, leaving us with faint hopes of Florida phenom Walter Clayton Jr.

With the Blue Devils leading by one point and 20 seconds left in the second half, Cooper Flagg fouled Cougars forward J'Wan Roberts following a missed free throw. Roberts sunk both of his fouls shots to put Houston up by one, and a jumper from Flagg on Duke's ensuing possession fell short.

Houston delivered one of the greatest comebacks in NCAA Tournament history on Saturday night, holding Duke to one field goal in the final 10:31 en route to a stunning 70-67 win.

Duke led by as many as 14 in the second half, but Houston clawed its way back as the Blue Devils went cold from the floor. The Cougars will face Florida in the national title game Monday.

The national championship game that will draw the curtain on the 2025 NCAA Tournament has been finalized after No. 1 seed Florida knocked off No. 1 overall seed Auburn and No. 1 seed Houston rallied to stun No.

Somehow, against all logic and evidence over 37 minutes of the game, Houston defeated Duke for arguably greatest night in history of proud program.

The Florida All-American has repeatedly come up big in late-game situations and did so again on Saturday to lead the Gators to a 79-73 win over Auburn in the Final Four. Clayton hit multiple big 3s in the second half and helped seal the win with an and-1 layup and free throw with 1:33 to extend Florida's lead to six.
