Florida Wins 2025 NCAA Men's Basketball Title

The 2025 NCAA men's basketball tournament concluded with No. 1 seeds Florida and Houston facing off in the championship game, where Florida triumphed 65-63 to claim their first title since 2007. Iowa State finished the season ranked No. 17 in both the AP and USA TODAY Sports Coaches polls, despite a strong start and reaching the NCAA tournament for the fourth consecutive year. The tournament saw fewer surprises with all four No. 1 seeds reaching the Final Four, a rarity that last occurred in 2008, and only one double-digit seed advancing to the Sweet 16. In women's basketball, South Carolina's Chloe Kitts and MiLaysia Fulwiley played pivotal roles in their team's run to the national championship game. Meanwhile, the coaching carousel saw mid-major coaches like Richard Pitino and Will Wade moving to higher-profile positions following their teams' tournament performances.
