It’s official! The Florida Gators once again rule college basketball.
To be crowned 2025 national champions, Florida basketball had to traverse a gauntlet unlike any team in recent years. En route to a 36-4 record and cutting down the nets at the Alamodome, the Gators twice knocked off the country’s top-ranked team (Tennessee in January, Auburn in February), captured the SEC tournament (first time since 2014), toppled the NCAA tournament’s overall No. 1 seed (Auburn again) and basked in their latest shining moment (while quashing Houston’s dreams).
And you can relive the glory of the Gators’ third national championship and first in nearly two decades through a book and page prints from The Gainesville Sun and USA TODAY.
Gator Nation never will forget the iconic moments: Crushing Tennessee’s spirit with a 30-point victory and later in the title game of the SEC tournament, the impossible Elite Eight comeback against Texas Tech, an epic final half to eliminate Auburn in the national semifinals, and the brilliance of Walter Clayton Jr., the first Gator to be a consensus first-team All-American (plus be compared to Steph Curry).
Check out the lineup from The Sun and USA TODAY. You will want to own a piece of Gators hoops history.
“CHOMP-IONS! The Florida Gators’ Rise to the Top of College Basketball” takes you courtside for every electrifying moment of a championship run that rallied fans nationwide. This 208-page, archival-quality coffee-table book from The Gainesville Sun, the Gators’ hometown newspaper, and USA TODAY captures the blood, sweat and cheers behind Florida’s first national championship since the back-to-back titles in 2006-07.
Packed with dynamic photos and compelling stories, “CHOMP-IONS!” commemorates the unbreakable spirit that propelled Florida to the pinnacle of college basketball once again. This keepsake retails for $44.95, plus shipping and handling, but you can receive a 25% discount by ordering right now. We’ll do the math: That’s $33.71. Find the book at Florida.ChampsBook.com.
Some fans will never take the coffee-table book out of its shrink-wrapping so that it can be passed down to future generations, all brought up the right way to know that It Just Means More.

Now that your coffee table and bookcase have been properly adorned, don’t forget about your walls. The Sun has two full-page prints that you will want to display proudly.
“GATOR CHOMPS!” celebrates Florida’s 86-77 victory over Tennessee in the championship game of the SEC tournament. The page print captures the postgame scene at Nashville in all its glory and joy as coach Todd Golden hoists the hardware and confetti rains down on his team.
Right now, we’re working on a page print that celebrates Florida’s victory over Houston. You should see it in the wee hours at the USA TODAY Store.
The page prints are produced on high-quality, acid-free art paper. Upgrade options include framed copies and background choices of canvas, acrylic, metal or wood through the USA TODAY Store.
