Houston’s Kelvin Sampson was close to his 1st national title. It slipped away painfully vs. Florida

Posted Apr 9, 2025
All Kelvin Sampson could do was stand there, hands on hips with a blank look on his face, as the ball bounced loose and Houston’s chance at a title bounced away. The coach who has commanded all details over a 36-year career of wins, losses and a few Final Fours couldn’t do anything about this one. The last-second blunder ended in a loss to Florida.
