An all-time great Final Four featured an all-time great finish, with Florida rallying from 12 points down in the second half to defeat Houston, 65-63, in the title game for the Gators' first title since 2007.

But Florida would not be denied. The Gators looked cooked when Houston opened up a 42-30 second-half lead. But Florida persevered and rallied for a 65-63 win to secure the program's third national championship. The victory denied Houston and head coach Kelvin Sampson each their first.

Madness tournament came to an end Monday night as the Florida Gators took home the NCAA men's basketball championship.
