Florida completes comeback to beat Houston to win March Madness national championship

After pulling off a stunning comeback in the Final Four, Houston was at the mercy of one two days later.

Down by 12 points in the second half, Florida came roaring back to beat the Cougars, 65-63, Monday night at the Alamodome in San Antonio to its first national championship since 2007, when the Gators went back-to-back.

Walter Clayton Jr. struggled most of the game but was clutch down the stretch, finishing with 11 points.

Will Richard led the way with 18.
