Where Florida basketball’s 2024 NCAA Tournament resume stands for March Madness

The NCAA Tournament Selection Committee is fickle, but according to March Madness projections, Florida basketball has improved its seed line.

The Florida Gators (24-10) will face Auburn in the SEC Tournament finals on Sunday, which serves as a chance for another Quadrant 1 win. Florida is seeking its first SEC Tournament title since 2014 and fifth in school history. Most currently predict Florida as a 6-seed, though that could change depending on results throughout the country.

UF’s 24 wins entering Selection Sunday are its most since 2016-17, when the Gators made a run to the Elite Eight under former head coach Mike White. Florida’s high-powered offense has averaged 96 points per game in its three SEC Tournament wins and ranks sixth nationally in scoring at 85.4 points per game.
