Come along for the ride, as Todd Golden and his Gators bask in celebration after chomping back to knock off Houston Monday night

Florida basketball is no stranger to college basketball success. The Gators are seeking their third national championship and first since 2007.

Florida is just the 10th program to win at least three national championships-- and here how Todd Golden, at just 39, got it done.

Florida roared back from a 12-point deficit to stun Houston and claim the program's first national championship since 2007 on Monday night, 65-63. The Gators trailed 42-30 early in the second half before finding the same late surge that carried them past Auburn in the Final Four on Saturday.

Florida, which often played from behind during the NCAA Tournament, arrives nearly two hours late for its on-campus festivities.

Florida fans, cover your ears. In many ways, the culmination of the men’s NCAA college basketball tournament managed to perfectly capture the essence of the Florida Gators’ fearless leader, Walter Clayton Jr. The large meta-analysis is the latest to show a connection between autism and diabetes.

Fans fell in love with this team not because it steamrolled its way to the title with NBA lottery talent but because it earned every inch of it.

A thrill-a-minute NCAA title for the Florida Gators in San Antonio has reminded us all of what’s so good about the games these college athletes play.
