If there was any doubt about this Final Four's greatness, Monday night's madness pushed it into GOAT territory

Houston’s suffocating defense wiped away a 14-point deficit over the final eight minutes and erased Cooper Flagg and Duke’s title hopes Saturday in a 70-67 stunner over the Blue Devils at the Final Four.

Houston uncorked mayhem in the penultimate game of this year's NCAA Tournament with an amazing comeback Saturday to defeat Duke 70-67 in the Final Four. The Cougars erased a 14-point second-half deficit and closed on a 25-8 run to stun the Blue Devils, tying for the second-largest Final Four comeback in the last decade.

Florida is looking for its first championship since winning back-to-back national titles in 2006 and 2007. The Cougars, on the other hand, have never won in the championship round, only coming as close as the runner up in 1983 and 1984.

If you are a Florida fan gator chomping in celebration, you may now use your two previous championship rings from this century to plug your ears. You’ll soon have another one for your finger. Have you plugged them?
