2007 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament

Ohio State once again becomes Gator bait

Curses, chomped again. The Florida Gators continued their recent feast on the Ohio State Buckeyes, mangling OSU 84-75 Monday night in the Georgia Dome to capture their second consecutive NCAA title.

Twice the bite!

Gators repeat, down OSU again

The Florida Gators took a chomp out of NCAA history with the repeat they simply had to have. Now they want more. They want to be called one of the best teams of all time.

Commentary: Florida sitting on history’s doorstep

Players may not know it, but the Gators are close to leaving a glowing legacy in college hoops history

For most of the Florida players, college basketball history started in 1994, which may be why they had so much trouble when they were asked to identify the best college team of all time.

Bedore: Bedore: Florida to win title; Players should be paid

Things on my mind as the 2006-07 college basketball season today comes to a close.

NCAA’s shining moment

NBA-ready stars restore college basketball's allure

Take it all in, because there probably won’t be a repeat of this any time soon.

Florida dominates rematch with UCLA

First, an instant replay. Next, a classic repeat? Florida and its in-demand coach, Billy Donovan, moved one win away from a second straight national championship Saturday night, defeating UCLA, 76-66, in a game that looked very much like the meeting between these two in last year’s Final Four.

Brewer UF’s reason to smile

Grinning Gator guard wills Florida to halftime lead

Before Chris Richard turned the rim into a chin-up bar, before fans in the upper deck started chanting, “It’s Great to be a Florida Gator,” even before John Wooden threw his remote control at his TV back in Los Angeles, only one Gator was smiling.

Fouls shackle ballyhooed bigs

Ewing vs. Olajuwon this wasn’t. The most anticipated battle in decades between two of college basketball’s best big men, Ohio State’s Greg Oden and Georgetown’s Roy Hibbert, never quite materialized in Saturday night’s semifinal. Thank three guys whose names you wouldn’t - and probably shouldn’t - know.

Oden out early, but Ohio State rolls

Not even three minutes into the game, and the whistle blew. Greg Oden dropped his head and started a slow walk to the bench. Two quick fouls, and he was done for the half. The turning point in the game, for sure. But not in the way anyone expected.

Commentary: Big names abound at Final Four

Gonzaga was always a good story about the little college that could, until George Mason came along and made it even better. There’s nothing like a spirited underdog in the NCAA Tournament to remind us of simpler times when players enrolled for four years and anything seemed possible.

UF, OSU have edge at line

Gators, Buckeyes most experienced foul shooters

National championship on the line. Two free throws, one-point deficit, three seconds left. Who do you want to take the shots?

Let’s get it on!

Forget Cinderella - it's the big boys' time

George Mason’s memorable run to the Final Four during last year’s NCAA Tournament captivated a nation. What people might forget is that the last three games of the season - the national semifinals and title game - were all decided by at least 14 points, making it the least competitive Final Four since the tournament field was expanded to 64 teams.
