President Donald Trump honored the 2025 NCAA basketball champion Florida Gators at the White House on Wednesday, proclaiming that “lesser teams would have crumbled” during its nail-biting title game victory.

The 10-seed Florida Gators (38-19) won for the 18 th time in their last 23 games and will move on to face 7-seed Ole Miss on May 21 (9 p.m., SEC Network). Boser gave Florida its first lead, blasting a three-run homer over the center field fence to put the Gators up 3-1 in the bottom of the second inning.
