Fresh off an SEC Tournament title on Sunday, the Florida men’s basketball team has earned a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament and will take on Norfolk State on Friday in Raleigh, N.C. The game is set for Friday at 6:50 p.m. at the Lenovo Center and will air on TNT.
 
The Gators make their 23rd NCAA Tournament appearance and second under third-year head coach Todd Golden. With 30 wins this season, UF captured a 1-seed for the third time in program history, previously doing so in 2007 (national champions) and 2014 (Final Four).
 
With Sunday’s win vs. eighth-ranked Tennessee in the SEC Tournament final, the Gators notched their eighth top-25 victory of the season, including five vs. top-10 opponents.
 
The Gators have faced Norfolk State once previously, meeting in the second round of the 2012 NCAA Tournament in Omaha, an 84-50 Florida win. The winner of Friday’s matchup will take on the winner of UConn and Oklahoma on Sunday.
