It was not a question whether the Florida Gators (24-11) would be in the NCAA Tournament, it was more of a question where they would be seeded.
We got the answer Sunday evening, as Florida landed the No. 7 seed in the South Region.
They are now set to play in Indianapolis, Indiana on Friday.
Their opponent is yet to be determined, as the Colorado Buffaloes (24-10) and the Boise State Broncos (22-10) will face off on Wednesday in the First Four in Dayton, Ohio.
The top-four seeds in the South Region are the Houston Cougars (30-4), the Marquette Golden Eagles (25-9), the Kentucky Wildcats (23-9) and the Duke Blue Devils (24-8).
The Gators would likely face Marquette in the Round of 32 if they advanced past either Colorado or Boise State, barring an upset by 15-seeded Western Kentucky.
Florida and Kentucky are two of the eight SEC teams to make the 68-team field. One of those teams, Texas A&M (20-14), is the No. 9 seed in the South Region.
The highest ranked SEC team is the Tennessee Volunteers (24-8), who slotted in as a 2-seed in the Midwest Region.
Now, all the focus is on the Gators as they head to Indianapolis on the tails of their SEC Championship game defeat.
