Nashville, Tennessee – Florida basketball continued to win in March in his efforts to obtain a seeded n ° 1 in the NCAA tournament.
Even before the selection on Sunday, some questions were raised to find out if the Dry tournament finals against Gators from Florida (29-4) and Tennessee (27-6) would serve as a de facto game for the last seeded n ° 1 of the NCAA tournament.
But according to the expert in Crochetology Espn Joe Lunardi, Florida already has a n ° 1 seed locked up according to its global CV.
“Florida will be the fourth seeded n ° 1 (western region) after its death of Alabama“Wrote Lunardi in a post on Saturday evening.
Lunardi’s back followed a little in a position on Sunday, saying that Tennessee could pass Florida for the seeded n ° 1, but said that he “doubted the committee to do it”.
Florida beat n ° 8 in Alabama for the second time this month, rolling the tide 104-82 in the semi-finals of the SEC tournament on Saturday behind 22 points and six assists of the Senior leader Walter Clayton Jr.
The UF went to n ° 2 in the Kenpom ranking after victory and is only one of the three teams in the country in the top 10 in the offensive and defensive efficiency. Duke and Houston are the others. THE Gators won 11 of their last 12 games and have collected an average of 99.5 points in their first two games in the dry tournament.
After the UF’s victory over Alabama, Florida’s basketball coach Todd Golden said that he thought the Gators had obtained a seeded n ° 1.
“We are the second on Kenpom right now,” said Golden. “Beat ‘Bama twice, beat Auburn in Auburn. I don’t really think it’s a debate, whatever the result tomorrow. With that being said, another opportunity for us to get a very good victory. Another great challenge.”
