Saturday evening’s Ultimate 4 matchup between two No. 1 seeds, Auburn and Florida, is not for all of the marbles, however it certain is shut. The winner will play both Duke or Houston within the NCAA Championship recreation.
It is a large second, and generally, it might really feel an excessive amount of for gamers. Florida head coach Todd Golden says that will not be the case, although. He believes his crew has a successful mindset heading into the Ultimate 4, which means failure isn’t an choice.
“Our guys usually are not going to be glad going dwelling Saturday evening. I feel entering into, the mentality is that — clearly, will probably be an awesome season regardless, but when we lose on Saturday, we’ll have a nasty style in our mouths,” Golden told the media (h/t On3).
Florida went 34-4 this season and completed second within the stacked SEC behind the very Auburn crew they will play Saturday. The Gators gained the SEC Event by beating Tennessee, 86-77, after which made a run by the event that noticed them beat No. 16 Norfolk State, No. 8 UConn, No. 4 Maryland and No. 3 Texas Tech.
The Gators are battle-tested and centered getting into play Saturday.
“Our guys have put within the work. We didn’t make it right here accidentally. We earned the chance to be right here and to compete. Our guys take pleasure in doing that on a nightly foundation,” Golden mentioned. “I feel they perceive what’s at stake, however on the similar time they wish to take pleasure in being right here and benefit from the fruits of the labor that we’ve had all 12 months.”
