GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- There's only one way for No. 4 Florida to guarantee itself a top seed in the NCAA Tournament: win the Southeastern Conference Tournament.
And coach Todd Golden badly wants one of those No. 1 seeds in the NCAA field, which will be announced Sunday.
"We're going to go try to win this thing," he said emphatically Wednesday. "We're going to give it all we got."
Florida (27-4, 14-4 SEC) will play Missouri, LSU or Mississippi State in the quarterfinals Friday in Nashville, Tennessee. The second-seeded Gators enter the tournament as one of the hottest teams in the league, winners of nine of their last 10.
