The No. 1 seed Florida Gators will face the No. 4 seed Maryland Terrapins on Thursday, March 27 in a Sweet 16 matchup at the Chase Center in San Francisco.
Florida defeated the No. 8 Connecticut Huskies, 77-75, in comeback fashion on Sunday to advance to the Sweet 16, and Maryland won later in the day, 72-71, over No. 12 Colorado State on a buzzer-beater bank shot. The Gators are 2-2 all-time against the Terrapins, losing the most recent game in 2021-22 in Brooklyn at the Barclays Center. Of course, both teams feature completely different rosters and coaching staffs.
