Those results leave two teams left standing. It will be Florida versus Houston for college basketball’s ultimate prize. Either Houston wins its first national title after a litany of near misses dating back to the 1960s, or Florida joins a list of nine men’s college basketball programs with three or more championships.

Teams will often cut down nets to commemorate a win in the Elite Eight — which earns them a spot in the Final Four, a program-defining accomplishment at many schools — or if they win a conference tournament championship. Others will bypass it, choosing instead to only cut the nets for a national title.
