Overview: After they won the national championship a year ago as sophomores, Al Horford, Joakim Noah, Taurean Green, and Corey Brewer decided to return for a shot at back-to-back titles. They now are within two victories of duplicating the feat of the 1991 and 1992 Duke teams, the last to win consecutive championships. The Gators will face UCLA in the national semifinals. The same teams met in last year’s national championship game with Florida emerging with a dominant 73-57 victory. The Gators will have to get off to a good start this time.
