It's On! Florida and UCLA at the NCAA Final

Emphatic. That's how the Florida Gators and the UCLA Bruins got into their classic NCAA Final encounter this Monday.

First, let's talk about the Florida Gators and their tenacious appetite to grab the basketball. Yes, the Florida Gators grabbed 'em all. They got all the second-chance baskets they want, leaving the Cinderella team of the George Mason Patriots without any chance of fighting back.

The Gators grabbed every offensive rebound there is to grab, kicking the ball out to reset the offense and draining much of the final three minutes of their NCAA Final Four face-off.

In the end, the Gators ate all the time left on the clock away, sending ''Cinderella'' home with the bitter taste of defeat.

''We knew,'' forward Corey Brewer said, ''that Cinderella was going home.''

And did they sent Cinderella home, earning Florida a spot in the NCAA Final this Monday. But THAT was half of the story last Saturday.

The UCLA Bruins, a team rich with NCAA tournament history, cruised to an emphatic win over the LSU Tigers in a game where competition was nowhere in sight.

The Bruins looked like tall men in a shoot-around over big babies (No pun intended) as Glen Davis, LSU's ''Big Baby,'' was shut down. UCLA, coming into their NCAA Final Four encounter, won a record of 11 NCAA championships. Last Saturday, the Bruins showed the Tigers how they won that many titles.

Defense.

UCLA allowed just one school to score more than 60 and that was Gonzaga, one of their 12 victims en route to their NCAA Final game against Florida.

It's the Florida Gators going up against the UCLA Bruins. A program without any legacy of championships yet to show for in Florida will go up against a school rich with NCAA Championship tradition with the Bruins. This year's NCAA tournament had it's share of unexpected moments and great comeback stories. Florida and UCLA will prove to be the perfect culmination of this crazy NCAA March Madness wars.
