Gators in the Championship Game!

Go Gators! For the 2nd time in the Billy Donovan era the Florida Gators will be in the NCAA Championship game tonight. So far this tourney they have looked like anything but the Gators of usual. Strong defense, timely 3's, clutch shooting and a minimum of turnovers. They have looked like the team to beat. That being said, it will be interesting to see what they do with a UCLA defense that has made two excellent offensive teams in Memphis and LSU look downright awful.
A couple keys to the game. First Florida needs to stay in their offense and not launch shots early. Secondly they need to get out and run as often as possible and keep the ball out of Corey Brewer's hands on the fast break. He has been terrific in the open court when receiving the ball, but when he leads the break he loses it every time. Keep the big men out of foul trouble and don't let UCLA get hot from beyond the arc and Florida should pull away. I predict a tight game at half turns into a Gator romp with 5 Florida players in double figures and Joakim Noah being player of the game. Final score: Florida 72 UCLA 60.
