They can evaporate quickly. Against Houston, that's just not how it goes. And so I give Florida a ton of credit for just staying in the fight. Now, a lot of that probably, Ryan, comes from the fact that they don't have to go back too far on the mental Rolodex to go, we're down nine with 251 to go against A&M, right? Auburn had us down a pretty decent number just Keep plugging away.

And you had to think at some point, Clayton's going to score buckets. I believe he didn't make his first basket till there were eight minutes left in the game. And it was an and one. And then he hits a three and like they're chipping away and they're chipping away. And then the thing that really bums me out about it, I love Calvin Sampson.

I love the whole idea of the program and what it's about toughness, the DNA of that. I hate for them that the last three times they had a basketball, they didn't take a shot. That's really going to be hard to live with. You don't get the ball on the rim. For a team, it's as offensive rebounding centric as anyone. They just turned it over three straight times.

And for as much, Ryan, as we talk about the toughness, the defense, and the rebounding of Houston, Florida won that basketball game because they were tough. They guarded and they rebound. They outright, they out rebounded Houston, which I don't know how they did it. Cause the length of Houston at the rims insane. Um, so in retrospect, like Florida was that team. They really were all year.

They, they, that's who they were. They've been as good as anyone and them winning feels like appropriate. But if you tell me they're down a dozen and, and, um, They're just, they're not going to get any points from number one. If Clayton's not going to make a basket, like, well, it's probably going to lose. And somehow, you know, they're in the Riverwalk.

My wife and kids were there, by the way, which is a fun story. They rolled the dice and went. and got a picture of my little guy at 12.50 asleep on the Riverwalk. She's like, little guy left it all in the field. I'm like, what a memory, man, for life. They were in the building, but I didn't see that path being how they got there.

I thought they would make a shit ton of threes and just be who they were, and that's how they'd win that. That was not the script I saw being how Florida got to have a parade.
