Nevada almost fought their way back into the game with a major run fueled by rabid full court pressure but ultimately the Gators held on to a 70-61 win, advancing to the round of 32 where they will face the winner of 2-seed Michigan and 15-seed Montana. The first 28 minutes of the game looked like a breeze for Florida as they ballooned their lead to 18 points but with a team full of seasoned veterans the Nevada Wolf Pack went to a full court defense that sped the Gators up, forced turnovers, and baited them into taking bad shots.
