After a night spent locking up college basketball's hottest shooter, Florida's Walter Clayton Jr., the roles reversed for Houston guard Emanuel Sharp on the biggest play of Monday night's national championship game.

In Houston's stunning comeback win over Duke last weekend in the Final Four, the Cougars trailed by as many as 14 with just over eight minutes remaining in regulation. Monday night, the Cougars led by as many as 12 points against Florida in the second half and squandered their lead away en route to a devastating title game loss.

Houston committed four turnovers on its final two possessions but the last two came from Emanuel Sharp, who had full support of his teammates.
