NCAA Tournament: Virginia Tech will play the Florida Gators in the first round

The Virginia Tech Hokies officially have their destination. Well, the Hokies knew their destination was Indianapolis, just like everyone else, but now Virginia Tech knows who it will be playing in the first round.

The Hokies are a No. 10 seed in the South region and will meet the No. 7 Florida Gators of the SEC in the first round.

I like this matchup for the Hokies.

Florida is certainly a talented team but underachieved a bit during the season. The Gators were 14-9 and finished fifth in the SEC with a 9-7 record.

Florida’s most impressive win of the season was an 85-80 win over then-No.
