After taking care of business with a decisive win over Norfolk State in the Round of 64 the Gators now know who they’ll face next:
The defending back to back National Champions–the UConn Huskies.
While most games between the 8 and 9-seeds are considered to be coinflip games, ever since UConn was matched up with Oklahoma in round one people expected the Huskies to come away victorious. The Sooners were able to keep the game close but the Huskies led for most of the game and stretched their lead to a couple of possessions late, ultimately winning a low scoring 67-59 affair.
