2006 Florida Gators NCAA College Basketball 'CHOMPIONS!' Framed Newspaper

The Year of the Gator! NCAA Champs in both Football AND Basketball in the same year! Their path to victory was unlikely, as Florida had not made the Final Four since their runner-up finish in 2000. None of the Tournament's top seeds advanced to the Final Four. Florida came in as the 3rd seed. They were joined by a Cinderella story, a team seeded 11th advanced to the Final Four as George Mason of the Colonial Athletic Association won the Washington, D.C. region. Rounding out the Final Four were 4th seeded LSU (who was the first team to advance to the Final Four as an 11-seed in 1986), and 2nd seed UCLA. Florida won its first-ever national basketball championship by defeating UCLA 73–57 in the final game. Florida's Joakim Noah was named the Most Outstanding Player of the NCAA Tournament.
