Colorado Analysis: Only lost 1 of their last 5 matches
The Buffaloes are participating in their first NCAA Tournament since 2021, when they defeated Georgetown in their opening round match before losing to Florida State in the Round of 32. This is only their 2nd NCAA Tournament appearance since 2016. Colorado’s victory over Boise State on Wednesday marked the team’s 9th win in ten games and its 25th overall, setting a franchise record. This season, the team finished first in the Pac-12 and 6th in the US in terms of 3-point percentage (39.4) and field-goal percentage (49.3), respectively. Tristan da Silva, a senior forward, topped all players with 20 points in Wednesday’s victory over the Broncos, however he is 2nd on the team in terms of average (15.9). Junior center Eddie Lampkin Jr. added 13 points on 6-of-8 shooting.
Florida Analysis: Coming off a tough 19-point loss
Florida’s performance in the closing moments was worthy of a berth in the SEC championship game. But Micah Handlogten, the center, suffered a fast injury that quickly diminished their confidence. The Gators will be shorthanded as they must cross the finish line because the big guy is out for the season. An offensive unit that averages 85.1 points per game is one asset this squad has going for it. They shoot 34.2% three-pointers, 45.6% from the field, and 71.2% from the free throw line. Every game, these Gators pull down 14.8 offensive rebounds. Although their run of scoring 85 points or more may have come to an end, the Gators’ past performance demonstrates how dangerous they can be.
