The University of Florida Gators beat the UCLA Bruins to win the 2006 NCAA college basketball National Championship game. UF dominated UCLA from the start and won 73-57, which gave the Florida Gators their first championship trophy in Basketball.

The Gators have been playing great ball for most of this season and this just topped off what was an excellent season for the team from Gainsville.

I was kind of rooting for them, despite being a FSU alumnus.

Joakim Noah (son of former tennis star Yannik Noah) earned Final 4 MVP with great play . He scored 16 points, nine rebounds and a record six blocks. However, this win really was because of a great team effort.
