Though not one of college basketball’s blue-blood programs, the Florida Gators have been one of the game’s best programs over the past decade. Since winning back-to-back National Titles in 2006-07, Florida has been remarkably consistent.
2018 is the program’s 9th trip to the big dance since 2006. During that run, the’ve failed to win a game only once (2010). They also have made it to the Sweet 16 seven times and the Elite 8 seven times during that span. The team’s most recent trip to the Final For came just four years ago.
While none of the current Gators have played in a Final Four, they are a battle-tested team that will be a tough out for the Red Raiders.
