Despite losing to Ole Miss in the SEC tournament final, the Florida Gators wrapped up a #3 seed in the NCAA tournament.
They’ll be taking on 14 seed Northwestern State in the first round. Last year, they made the Elite Eight before losing Bradley Beal to the NBA draft, where he went third overall to the Wizards.
This year’s team won the SEC regular season championship and was ranked as high as #2 during the season.
Five other Gator items:
1. They have three players averaging over 12 ppg: Kenny Boynton (12.3), Erik Murphy (12.6), and Mike Rosario (12.3). All three are deadly free-throw shooters as well, averaging over 75% each. Patric Young adds 10.3 a game, and point guard Scottie Wilbekin drops nine a game in addition to five assists.
2. The advanced stats folks love the Gators. They’re #1 in the nation in Ken Pomeroy’s rankings and third in Jeff Sagarin’s.
3. They have a few losses to bubble teams like Tennessee and Kentucky, but only one of their losses all year was by more than six points, and it’s also their worst loss in terms of opposition, coming against a middling Arkansas team.
4. They can shoot the three. Murphy is a sweet-shooting big who hits 45.6% from deep, and beating him out is Michael Frazier, who hits 48.5%.
5. Gainesville, Fla, home of the Gators, is also something of a punk rock hotbed, home to bands such as Against Me!, Hot Water Music, and Less Than Jake. It’s also the site of the yearly Fest, the biggest punk festival in North America.

I would love to see a my legendary mode you sluohd start at in collage like the sweet 16 and you pick the collage you wanna go to add the collage commentators.ok then once your player gets to the nba you do the combined.what I really wanna see in legendary mode is like different commentators like I wanna see the abc,TNT,espn,and nba tv. also I wanna have create my on dunk package I think that would make better and more exciting.also we sluohd add Allstar weekend everybody loved it I know I did and even the US team are player could be on. I also think during halftime we sluohd be able to go back into the locker room and see what coach has to say about the first half that would make it like real life and that’s what I want it to feel like and even have warm up before the game I would also like to pick my agent.
