Big respect to J’wan Roberts, it was a tough battle! 🥺⁣ •⁣ In a thrilling conclusion to March Madness, the Florida Gators edged out the Houston Cougars 65-63 to secure the NCAA men's basketball championship in San Antonio. 💪⁣ •⁣ The Cougars, making their first championship game appearance since 1984, showcased their growth and resilience throughout the tournament. Their journey included impressive victories over SIU Edwardsville, Gonzaga, Purdue, Tennessee, and a Final Four win against Duke. ​ 👀⁣⁣ •⁣⁣ Despite the narrow loss, Houston's performance this season is reminiscent of the legendary Phi Slama Jama era, which featured stars like Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler. The Cougars' resurgence signals a bright future for the program. ​📈⁣⁣ •⁣ What a college career for Roberts. 👏⁣ •⁣ (c/o yahoosports ncaa)⁣ •⁣ #menssports #basketball #marchmadness #houston #houstoncougars #ncaa #ncaambb #mbb #collegesports #bannerszn
