The Florida Gators are Des Moines, Iowa, bound to take on Nevada in the first round of the 2019 NCAA Basketball Tournament.
After clawing out a pair of must-win games in the SEC Tournament and coming oh so close to playing in the championship game, the Florida Gators secured a spot in postseason play. The strong performance in the conference tournament earned the Gators a No. 10 seed in the West Region.
Florida (19-15, 9-9 SEC) and No. 7 seed Nevada (29-4, 15-3 Mountain West) will meet on Thursday.
Nevada won the Mountain West regular season title, but fell to San Diego State in the second round of the conference tournament.
