Florida ran into one of the best defenses in the country and couldn’t match that challenge on Saturday night falling to the Michigan Wolverines 64-49, ending the Gators’ season in the Round of 32 in blowout fashion. Michigan’s outstanding work at defending the screen and roll bottled up a lot of Florida’s offense and though 50% shooting from three-point land in the first half kept the Gators in it that number was destined to come back to earth and when it did the Wolverines burst out in a lead the Gators were unable to catch. Zavier Simpson lead the way for Michigan and flirted with a triple-double logging 9 points, 9 assists, and 9 rebounds while Andrew Nembhard had some great moments with 7 points, 8 assists, and 3 steals.
