There is absolutely no way this whole deal ends well for UNC

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

I was never a big Rory fan when he was young. But much like Jeff Gordon in NASCAR, he's grown on me as he's gotten older. Yesterday I found myself pulling for him as hard as I've pulled for anyone b/c of his grace & persistence through adversity. So happy for him and his family!

Walter Clayton was a deserving Most Outstanding Player, but Will Richard was Florida's championship game MVP Will Richard scored 14 of his team-high 18 points in the first half to lead Florida to its national championship win against Houston.

Where does Cooper Flagg rank among Duke's 1-and-done stars? Is he the Blue Devils' best ever? Cooper Flagg didn't deliver a championship for Duke. But his performance helped establish a bridge between the Blue Devils' past and future.

Wow ... Houston doesn't even get a shot off.

Wouldn't it be poetic justice if Houston scores on a crazy 3 pointer at the buzzer (from about the same distance as Whittenburg's air ball)?

First Florida lead since it was 8-6 with 15:37 left in the first half. 46 seconds left.

Tied at 48. It's now an 8 minute game for the natty.

Walter Clayton Jr. finally scores his first points of the game ... 5 minutes into the second half. On free throws. He still does not have a field goal.

If Houston wins this thing, they damn well better allow Hakeem Olajuwan on the court for the celebration this time.

efs called 4 fouls in the entire first half. They've called 4 (all on Florida) in the first 2 1/2 minutes of the second half. Wonder if they saw a score sheet?

Both teams shooting 38%. Gators with only 28 points at halftime. Advantage Houston ... and not just because the Cougars lead 31-28.

Florida is back in the soup again. Down 8 ... Gators have come back from similar deficits against UConn, Texas Tech and Auburn in the Tournament. Do they have another one in them?

Welp ... just as I hit send, Cryer hits a 3 and is off the schneid

Neither Walter Clayton Jr nor LJ Cryer have scored. 14 minutes into the game

This game is being played at Houston's pace. Clayton is scoreless and has missed badly on all 3 of his shots so far. Cougars lead 12-10 with 12 minutes to go in the half

Houston v. Florida for the national championship ... underway in San Antonio

Peter Zahutt!!!

The decision by the Trump administration to revoke visas for South Sudanese passport holders could affect the ability of Duke men’s basketball player Khaman Maluach to reenter the United States if he were to leave.

Duke was gone, but Christian Laettner is still in San Antonio

Championship day pregame and Riverwalk is absolutely it!!

From dominance to despair: Duke is left to wonder what happened after its epic Final Four collapse Houston erased a 6-point deficit in the final 33 seconds to stun Duke and deny the Blue Devils a shot at the national championship.

The great thing about the #NCAA Tournament is that just when you think you have things figured out, there's a plot twist that makes you say "OMG, what just happened?" It's a question #Duke is asking itself after Saturday's epic collapse against #Houston tinyurl.com/4w3zbcfh

Houston allows an average of 58 points per game. Duke has 58 with 10 minutes to go.

LJ Cryer is keeping Houston in this. He's got 18 of the Cougars' 36 points

20 minutes in the books, Duke leads Houston 34-28

Florida and Auburn had 30 points between them at the first TV timeout. Duke and Houston have combined for 29 with 8:53 left in the half.

Duke is plus-8 with Caleb Foster on the court. Minus-1 with Sion James playing the point. Remarkable comeback by Foster after being dropped from the rotation in February.

Not the best view of the court ... but at least I'm in the building
