Florida 85 Oklahoma 63
#1
Final from Gainesville.

The Sooners are reeling and in need of a big win. Hopefully their spirit is almost broken with Kentucky coming to town soon. 

The Gators keep moving up the rankings. They have a ceiling that's lower than Auburn and some of the other top teams Clayton is probably a 2nd Round pick and they don't have a Broom or Flagg) and other top teams haven't taken a 20 point road loss to Tennessee, but they're definitely capable of reaching the Final Four. 

They're currently #4 in KenPom's Adjusted O and #7 in KenPom's Adjusted D. 

Duke (#2 & #4) and Houston (#10 & #3) are the only other teams who are top 10 in both. Not that KenPom is the end-all, be-all, but for reference, Auburn is currently #1 in AdjO and #14 in AdjD.

Three must-win games for UK if they are to be taken seriously for a postseason run:   Vandy,  Oklahoma, LSU.   They will be underdogs in the other three.

Listen, outside of Auburn, don't think there is a more complete team than Florida, and they handled Auburn easily in the jungle a few weeks back. Walter Clayton is one of my favorite players to watch this season, such a smooth touch, he can score at any level on the floor, enjoyed watching him play when he was with Pitino at Iona.

Florida is as capable as any team in the country to make the Final 4 and win it all.
