The Championship matchup is set and will feature the Florida Gators against the Houston Cougars. Both of these teams have overcome the odds and made their way to the final round, including a late-game surge from Houston that gave them an improbable win over the Duke Blue Devils. While this left many fans shaking their heads, it resulted in excitement for our handicappers.
