What time is Florida vs Houston? Time, TV schedule to watch men's NCAA championship
Two thrilling Final Four comebacks have set the stage for Monday's 2025 men's NCAA Tournament national championship game.
No. 1-seeded Florida overcame a nine-point deficit in the second half to knock off Johni Broome and Auburn 79-73. Meanwhile, Houston overcame a 14-point lead to shock freshman sensation Cooper Flagg and Duke 70-67.
This will mark Houston's first appearance in a championship game since 1984 and would be the program's first championship ever. Meanwhile, this will be Florida's first national championship game appearance since 2007, the last time they won it all. The Gators have two national titles, coming in back-to-back seasons in 2006 and 2007.
Houston leads the all-time series against Florida 2-0, but the teams have not played each other since Dec. 8, 1973. The Cougars pulled off a 97-73 victory over the Gators in Houston.
