An opening round win by the Gators over the higher seeded Nevada Wolf Pack felt tremendous but the Gators don’t have much time to celebrate as they now face the suffocating defense and tactically masterful offense of the John Beilein-led Michigan Wolverines. Right after the Gators finished off the Wolf Pack the Wolverines went to work on Montana, easily dispatching them 74-55 to earn a matchup with Florida. Known in recent history as an offensive juggernaut the hiring of defensive mastermind Luke Yaklich as an assistant coach two summers ago transformed Michigan into a monster on that side of the ball, earning them top-5 defensive ratings in KenPom the past two seasons.
