All the announcer calls for the epic finale between the Florida Gators and the Houston Cougars have been great. TV announcer Ian Eagle declared, "It's a Great Day to be a Gator!" Florida radio announcer Sean Kelley and Westwood One also had their spin in the final hectic seconds.
But Westwood One tweeted out their Spanish call of the final play and it might be the one that takes the cake.
Florida Basketball: No Problems Here
By now, we have all seen the final play 50 times. Houston brings the ball up the court, tries to run some action up top, and eventually passes for an attempted three, only for Walter Clayton Jr. to close out and for Houston to put the ball on the floor, unable to pick it up or take a travel.
Leave it to Rafa Hernandez-Brito, who normally does games in Spanish for the Cleveland Cavaliers and, according to his X bio, is the only sportscaster to have called the NBA, NFL, World Series, and Final Four in Spanish.
"Houston, you have a problem! Los Gators, championes!"
About the only thing that would have made this line better is if Gator fans viewed Houston as a rival down the road, but the ammo to use that line to a Houston fan is gold.
"𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐧, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦!"#GoGators fans will absolutely love this Spanish final call at the Alamodome.

Loosely translated, Hernandez-Brito's call in English was:
"Cryer is going to bring it up. He is going to wait for Richard. Crosses the half-court, 14 seconds to play. The championship is in play for the Cougars. Uzan has it on the right. Picked up the dribble and now has 7 seconds left. 5 now. Ay ay ay. He can't touch the ball and Florida will get it back with two and it's all over! Houston, you have a problem! The Gators, champions. For the third time in its history!"
