Florida is the No. 1 seed in the South Region and probably isn’t interested in a fairy tale story this time of year. As March Madness will be whittled down to 16 teams after Sunday, there has been a notable lack of Cinderella stories in this year’s tournament. Beyond High Point winning a 5 vs 12 game and Texas going from the First Four to the Sweet 16, chalk has mostly ruled the day to this point.
Most people are going to point to NIL as the reason why Cinderella’s magic has faded this March, but Todd Golden has another explanation for why there have been so few upsets in this tournament.
