2024-25 SEASON RECAP
The 2024–25 men’s college basketball season featured high drama, emergent stars, and an NCAA Tournament finale for the ages. The Florida Gators captured the national title — their third in program history — edging out Houston 65–63 in a thrilling championship game in San Antonio. Walter Clayton Jr. was named Most Outstanding Player after a clutch performance in the final. Houston had a remarkable season, finishing 35–5, winning both the Big 12 regular season and tournament titles, and making a late push in the tournament before falling just short in the final. On the individual front, freshman phenom Cooper Flagg was the consensus National Player of the Year, dazzling fans with his two-way impact throughout the season and anchoring Duke’s dominance in the ACC and nationally. The tournament produced its share of surprises: Florida’s path to the title included wins over Norfolk State, defending champion UConn, Maryland, Texas Tech, and Auburn. UConn’s bid for a third consecutive championship ended earlier than hoped. Despite strong regular-season expectations, several blue-blood programs fell short in March. The ACC, in particular, underwhelmed outside Duke. Florida’s dramatic comeback in the title game — overcoming a double-digit second-half deficit — and Houston’s near-miss cemented this season among the most memorable in recent memory.
