When the brackets came out last Sunday, Florida’s pathway to get out of Tampa and move on to Houston for the Sweet 16 felt very manageable. That feeling still hasn’t changed, and after dispatching Prairie View A&M in historic fashion, the Gators will get a slight step up in competition with Iowa.
And despite the fact that Iowa plays a style that could make things closer than Florida fans are going to want to experience, Vegas is firmly on the side that Florida shouldn’t be in too much danger with a trip to the Sweet 16 on the line.
