The Gators’ loss to No. 18 Arkansas at home on Tuesday night seems to have significantly narrowed their path to a potential NCAA Tournament berth.
The consensus among bracketologists seems to be that they’ll need to take care of business on the road against a pair of SEC cellar-dwellers in Georgia and Vanderbilt (always easier said than done) and pull off a stunning upset of No. 6 Kentucky at home. Even then, they might need to win a game in the SEC Tournament to feel good about their postseason chances.
That’s a whole lot that needs to go right over the next couple of weeks for this proud program to participate in its fifth consecutive NCAA Tournament.
