Florida basketball still on the bubble after Tennessee win

Florida’s success over Tennessee has at any rate given it some space to breathe in the race for an opening in the NCAA Tournament. With the 75-49 victory triumph, CBS Sports actually has the 7-4 Gators in its 68-group field.

As indicated by the most recent projection, delivered Wednesday, UF is a No. 10 seed, close to the lower end of the field however over the Last Four In, which means Florida could keep away from a play-in game.

This section has the Gators attracting USC the first round at Lucas Oil Stadium before they would almost certainly take on No. 2-cultivated Kansas. The No. 1 seed in Florida’s district (recorded here as having the territorial elimination rounds and finals played at Hinkle Fieldhouse, Butler’s home court) is Gonzaga.

As most projected sections do, CBS’ shows a moderately frail portrayal from the SEC, with just four other gathering groups in the field: No. 2 Tennessee, No. 3 Missouri, No. 5 Alabama and No. 7 LSU.

There are as yet 11 gathering games staying for Florida, and two or three awful misfortunes would particularly endanger its competition possibilities. Yet, the Gators acquired a significant resume-supporter with the success over the Volunteers.
