Gator Links: Bracketology update, SEC Spring Power Rankings, Tebow Swings Away
Saturday, March 11, 2017 | General, Scott Carter
A look at fresh links from around the internet covering items of interest for Florida fans.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The UF men's basketball team is headed to the NCAA Tournament, that much we know. The Gators will find out where they're going on Selection Sunday.
The presumption was that if Florida defeated Vanderbilt in the SEC Tournament on Friday night in Nashville, the Gators were safely locked into the Orlando pod. However, with Friday's overtime loss to the Commodores, that is in question.
The Gators could still end up at Amway Arena – let's face it, Orlando officials certainly are rooting for that scenario – but the NCAA Selection Committee has final say.
We'll find out Sunday.
Meanwhile, here are some fresh links covering Gators athletics:
