The NCAA Tournament bracket was released on Sunday with the Florida Gators earning a 1-seed and learning their initial matchup–the Norfolk State Spartans.
There wasn’t any doubt that the Gators would be one the 1-seed line after knocking off Tennessee in the SEC Tournament Championship game, and they will now be positioned to go on a run–though it won’t be easy to start against a scrappy Norfolk State team.
The Spartans are in the 12th year under head coach Robert Jones, one of the great young coaches in the sport who is only 45 years old despite the fact he already has so many years of head coaching experience.
