The Gators Bite Back

On Friday, I noted that the Florida Gators had seen a decline in their
chances of winning the NCAA men's basketball tournament despite beating
Albany in their opening game. What hurt the Gators' prospects? They defeated
No. 16 Albany by an underwhelming 12 points, and they drew a tough Round of
32 matchup against Pittsburgh and a looming regional final matchup against
either Kansas or Syracuse.

But the Gators had a terrific weekend. They thrashed Pittsburgh by 16
points. And they were helped by upsets in the other half of the South
region, with No. 3 Syracuse and No. 2 Kansas both losing to opponents with
double-digit seeds.

The Gators' game against UCLA on Thursday is no gimme - they have a 72
percent chance of winning it, according to our model. But conditional upon
winning that game, they have an 83 percent chance of winning the regional
final against either No. 10 Stanford or No. 11 Dayton and advancing to the
Final Four.

All in all, the Gators benefited more than any other team from the opening
week of the tournament. Their chances of winning the national title are 18.4
percent, up from 14.5 percent before the tournament began.
