After two competitive Final Four games — one of which was an instant classic — the Men’s NCAA Basketball Championship was a nail biter as the Florida Gators defeated the Houston Cougars defeated 65-63.

Golden and the Gators were revered in another national championship celebration, this one in front of nearly 60,000 fans at Florida Field during an extended halftime of the annual football spring game. The hoops team has one more get-together on tap: at the White House, presumably this summer.

The No. 1 Florida Gators defeated the fellow No. 1 Houston Cougars 65-63 in the NCAA national championship on Monday night. it marked the school's third-ever men's basketball title and its first since 2007 under Billy Donovan.
