Florida basketball looking to dance in latest ESPN bracketology update

The latest preseason update to ESPN’s bracketology still has Florida making the NCAA Tournament. It’d be a fine start to the Todd Golden era of Gators basketball.

The college basketball season is still a few months away, but there is a bit more clarity on what rosters will look like in 2022-23. That means it’s time for another bracketology update, and ESPN’s Joe Lunardi has the Florida Gators as a No. 10 seed once again.

Lunardi has UF facing off with Michigan in the South Region, the same matchup he predicted in July. That means Florida is not a team that has shown any major improvements in the past month, but it also means that Lunardi feels that bumping the Gators up from the First Four Out in the last update was warranted.

As far as the rest of the SEC, Kentucky is the No. 1 seed in the South Region and Alabama is the No. 6 seed. Arkansas is the No. 3 seed in the West Region, Auburn is a No. 4 seed in the Midwest Region along with eighth-seeded Texas A&M and Tennessee is the No. 2 seed in the East Region. Missouri is in Lunardi’s First Four Out and LSU is the Next Four Out.

After missing the NCAA Tournament entirely in the final year of [autotag]Mike White[/autotag]’s run at UF, finishing as a No. 10 seed would be a solid start to the Todd Golden era of Gators basketball.
