After two seasons of the NIT, the Florida Gators have broken their slump and earn the ten seed in the West bracket. The Gators (21-12) will face seven seed BYU Cougars (29-5) on Thursday in Oklahoma City.
It is Selection Sunday and don't let Florida's bubbleness get you down. Because this also means the 3rd Annual Alligator Army Tournament Pick'em!
On Thursday, Florida was in the tournament.
Florida had four chances to win one game and clinch an NCAA bid, but were 0-4 in those games, finishing with tonight's 75-69 loss to Mississippi State in the SEC Quarterfinals.
Florida has benefited from a weak bubble this season as teams like Memphis, Seton Hall and USF fell early enough in their conference tournaments to knock themselves out.
Fighting off a stout Auburn offense, the Gators moved into the SEC Quarterfinals with a 78-69 win over the Tigers.
