On a day when a judge heard arguments that will shape the future of college sports, some things never change: March Madness drama remains unbeaten.

The Florida Gators are national champions after wrapping up the 2025 men's NCAA tournament on Monday night with a 65-63 victory over the Houston Cougars in a hard-fought title game.

Here's a look at where USA TODAY Sports ranks the Florida Gators' three NCAA Tournament championship wins during this century.

Where does Florida rank in men's college basketball for most NCAA Tournament championships? Here's where the Gators rank after their win vs. Houston:

Florida has won its first national championship since 2007 and its third overall after beating Houston 65-63 in the 2025 men’s NCAA title game.

In the span of less than three weeks, Florida guard Walter Clayton Jr. has risen from a projected second-round pick with promise to a sure first-round pick who may be a candidate to leap into the lottery discussion.

If Florida wins the national title game on Monday, one bettor will walk away with close to $1 million. Patrick Everson has the scoop.

Meanwhile, on the men’s side, even standout players like Duke’s Cooper Flagg, projected to go No. 1 in the NBA Draft, have been relatively quiet in the post-tournament media cycle. Bueckers and Van Lith, though? They’re everywhere. And with the WNBA Draft just around the corner, this moment feels like the launchpad for something even bigger.
