Houston has been so good in those late-game situations. So disciplined. So organized.

But that final minute of offense was so bad. So, so, so bad.

Either of those teams would have been worthy champs. Florida got it done.

Todd Golden is at 39 years old…

That makes him the youngest head coach to win National Championship since Jim Valvano in 1983.
