Much has been made about the loaded East Region for the NCAA Tournament. No. 1 overall seed Villanova headlines the loaded pod, but No. 2 Duke and No. 3 Baylor have also received plenty of attention.
But down on the 4-line, the Florida Gators could be a solid bet to win it all if you’re looking for a team that can bring you good value. According to SportsLine, the Gators have 30-1 odds of winning it all.
Outside of Villanova and maybe Duke, Florida is as loaded a team as any in the region from a talent perspective. And it has the coaching acumen that compares favorably with many. If the bracket breaks right, there’s a legitimate chance it could usher in a Final Four run for Mike White’s team, which finished second in the SEC regular-season standings.
Overall No. 13 seed Florida will begin tourney play at 3:10 p.m. ET on Thursday. You can find everything you need to know about the Gators’ first opponent, along with viewing information, by clicking here.
