SAN ANTONIO \u2014 Towels covered the faces of Houston\u2019s teary-eyed players. <\/p>\n
The locker room was as silent as a library, interrupted only by a scream tinged with agony.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The top-seeded Cougars\u2019 national championship dream came up painfully short \u2014 in the final seconds of Monday night\u2019s showdown against fellow No. 1 Florida.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Twice in the final half-minute, Houston had a chance to go ahead, and both times those possessions resulted in an Emanuel Sharp turnover \u2014 two possessions that will haunt this team for years to come after this 65-63 loss at the Alamodome.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m just going through those last two possessions more than anything else,\u201d Houston coach Kelvin Sampson said. \u201cIncomprehensible in that situation we couldn\u2019t get a shot [off].\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Two nights ago, Sharp was one of the heroes of Houston\u2019s riveting comeback against Duke, hitting a 3-pointer with 33.3 seconds left that ignited a rally from six points down with just over a half-minute to go.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Monday night, the junior guard \u2014 Houston\u2019s second-leading scorer \u2014 dribbled the ball out of bounds with 26.6 seconds to go. <\/p>\n
After Denzel Aberdeen split two free throws to push the Florida lead to two, the Cougars had another shot. Sharp came off a screen for a 3-point attempt, but Florida\u2019s Walter Clayton Jr. was right there.<\/p>\n
Sharp had already left his feet, so he dropped the ball to keep the play alive. <\/p>\n
Had he touched it, it would\u2019ve been a traveling violation. <\/p>\n
Gators forward Alex Condon dove for the ball. <\/p>\n
The clock expired as players desperately tried to gain possession. <\/p>\n
A heartbroken Sharp collapsed on the floor as Gators celebrated around him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve been working for this the whole year, the moment we\u2019ve been waiting for. Coming down to the last game,\u201d Houston forward Joseph Tugler said. \u201cI know it\u2019s going to hurt, break everybody\u2019s heart.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Cougars led almost the entire game. <\/p>\n
They held a 12-point advantage early in the second half. <\/p>\n
Florida didn\u2019t lead in the second half until Alijah Martin hit two free throws with 46.6 seconds left. Houston was ahead for 30:44 of game time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the end, it was the latest painful finish for Houston, which has been bedeviled in recent years by injuries. <\/p>\n
Monday night, the Cougars came up two points short.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSad, disappointed. I\u2019m at a loss for words,\u201d Houston guard Terrance Arceneaux. \u201cIn a game like that, that close, it felt like we had control of it the whole game and we just let it go.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of emotions. Sad time for us. Ain\u2019t really much that can be said. You\u2019re a couple of stops from winning it. It\u2019s hard to say anything.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
