Florida's basketball teams both won on Sunday. They both celebrated, too.
Florida thumped its second straight overmatched foe in the 2012 NCAA Tournament. But it's the way the Gators are playing that is so tantalizing.
Florida's not likely to be the first team to lose to a No. 15 seed with a Sweet Sixteen berth on the line. But here's how it could happen, and why it shouldn't.
The Florida Gators used a dominated second half to cruise to a relatively easy second round NCAA tournament win over the Virginia Cavaliers.
