The Florida Gators are just moments away from their biggest moment in years: a shot at the men's college basketball national championship against the Houston Cougars.
And while the players are locked in, Gator Nation is loud and proud across social media鈥搘ith former Florida legends, coaches and staff all chiming in ahead of the massive showdown.
Former Florida basketball stars Bradley Beal and Corey Brewer posted on social media ahead of the big game as well as Florida football general manager Jacob LaFrance.
Even former Gators basketball head coach Billy Donovan joined in with a message wishing the best of luck to the Orange and Blue tonight.
Take a look at what Florida basketball fans are saying prior to the 2025 NCAA Tournament Championship on X, also known as Twitter.
