BetRivers bonus code: Florida vs. Houston odds and preview

Both No. 1 seeds enter Monday’s championship game on a roll.

Florida (35-4) has won 11 straight and 17 of its last 18, including the SEC tournament title and a 79-73 comeback victory over Auburn in Saturday’s national semifinals.

Meanwhile, Houston (35-4) is the Big 12 regular season and tourney champion and has won 18 straight overall.

Coach Todd Golden’s Gators rank third in guru Ken Pomeroy’s efficiency ratings, checking in second offensively and ninth defensively.

First-team All-America guard Walter Clayton Jr. leads Florida in scoring at 18.5 points per game and is coming off back-to-back 30-point-plus showings against Auburn and Texas Tech. 

Clayton is the first player to score 30 or more points in back-to-back Elite Eight and Final Four contests since Larry Bird in 1979.

Awaiting Monday, though, is a matchup against Houston’s top-ranked defense. Offensively, the Cougars rank ninth and are second overall in the Pomeroy ratings.

Guards L.J. Cryer (15.6) and Emanuel Sharp (12.8) are the Cougars’ leading scorers while forward J’Wan Roberts (6.5) is tops in rebounds.

Florida is eyeing its third national title while Houston is seeking its inaugural crown in its first championship game appearance since 1984.

BetRivers had Florida lined as a 1.5-point favorite (-122 moneyline) with a game total of 140.5 points. Houston was +100 on the moneyline.
