The Florida Gators’ NCAA Tournament hopes might be fading after a one-point overtime loss to No. 10-ranked LSU on Wednesday, but UF is still included in the March Madness field in Thursday’s bracketology update by ESPN’s Joe Lunardi.
Lunardi has the Gators pegged as a 10 seed, dropping them from the 9 seed he bracketed them as prior to the LSU loss.
UF’s tournament chances, though, are on life support.
The Gators are 17-13 overall and 9-8 in SEC play. Two of those losses were to highly-ranked LSU in overtime. The latest one saw UF trailing by one point in the final seconds, but the Gators couldn’t muster a shot before time expired.
