<p>The Gators are back in the Sweet 16 but how does it look for them to get back to the Final Four?</p> <p>Coming into the NCAA tournament, the Gators were the chic pick as an early round upset victim but after two blowout victories to get them to the Sweet 16, Florida seems to finally playing up to their untapped potential. </p>
<p>Despite building confidence thanks to a decent performance in the SEC Tournament and the superb outings in the first two rounds, the Gators aren't going to simply waltz their way back to the Final Four.</p>
<p>First, Florida must handle the tough <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/marquette-golden-eagles">Marquette Golden Eagles</a>. They finished 2nd in the Big East while putting together an impressive 27-7 record (14-4 in conference). Their performance was good enough to garner the 3 seed in the West Region. Marquette also hasn't really been tested in the tournament, walking easily past BYU and Murray State.</p>
<p>Led by Seniors G <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/99676/darius-johnson-odom">Darius Johnson-Odom</a> and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/123854/jae-crowder">Jae Crowder</a>, Marquette is 31st in the nation in scoring with 75.8 pts per game. </p>
<p>Statistically speaking, the teams are pretty even with Florida having a slight edge in shooting percentage and from the three point arc. </p>
<p>If the Gators do manage to escape the Golden Eagles, they'll play the winner of Michigan State and Louisville.</p>
<p>The Spartans are the top seed in the West bracket, going 29-7 and winning the Big Ten Championship. Led by Senior Forward <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/52346/draymond-green">Draymond Green</a> and Sophomore guard <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/123904/keith-appling">Keith Appling</a>, the Spartans bring a tough defense to crack. MSU has surrendered over 70 pts just 3 times all season.</p>
<p>If MSU falls to Louisville, the Gators get no respite. The Cardinal won the Big East Tournament and despite not having the most overpowering offense in the world have won games with solid defense. Senior <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/52437/kyle-kuric">Kyle Kuric</a> and Guard <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/123828/russ-smith">Russ Smith</a> are the only two players reaching double figures for the Cardinal.</p>
<p>One thing the Gators have on these opponents is balance. Florida has five starters in double figures for the season and aren't tied to one player having to have a good night.</p>
<p>If Florida can shoot the three well like they did against Norfolk State, they have a good chance to win the West Region and get back to the National Semi-Finals.</p>

<p>How did the Gators get to their Sweet 16 game with Marquette? </p> <p>The <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/florida-gators" class="sbn-auto-link">Florida Gators</a> are back in the Sweet 16 thanks to a pair of impressive wins in their first two NCAA tournament games against the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/virginia-cavaliers" class="sbn-auto-link">Virginia Cavaliers</a> and the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/norfolk-st-spartans" class="sbn-auto-link">Norfolk State Spartans</a>. Those victories earned them a game against the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/marquette-golden-eagles" class="sbn-auto-link">Marquette Golden Eagles</a>.</p>
<p>In the March 16 game against Virginia, reserve <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/123534/casey-prather" class="sbn-auto-link">Casey Prather</a> scored 14 points off the bench to tie with guard <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/145344/bradley-beal">Bradley Beal</a> as the leading scorers in a 71-45 victory. Beal also added 11 rebounds. The Gators used a 17-4 run at the end of the first half to take control of the game. Forward <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/123531/patric-young" class="sbn-auto-link">Patric Young</a> added 13 points and seven rebounds. The Gators outrebounded the Cavaliers 36-21 and held only one Virginia player, Mike Scott with 15 points, to double figures.</p>
<p>In the March 18 game against surprise opponent Norfolk State, the Gators used a 25-0 run in the first half to bury the Spartans 84-50. Four of five Florida starters scored in double figures with guard <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/101071/kenny-boynton" class="sbn-auto-link">Kenny Boynton</a> leading all scorers with 20 points and eight rebounds.

<p>The state of Florida is down to just one team in the 2012 NCAA Tournament after losses by South Florida and Florida State over the weekend. The Bulls were a No. 12 seed so their stay past the first round was unexpected, but the Seminoles likely broke a lot of brackets with their loss to the Cincinnati Bearcats late on Sunday night.</p>
<p>The Bearcats move on to the Sweet 16 to face Ohio State, the No. 2 seed in the East Region, where the Seminoles' loss was the only upset heading into the Sweet 16. Syracuse, Ohio St. and Wisconsin are all still alive.</p>
<p>South Florida lost to Ohio over the weekend, and they'll have a pretty difficult matchup against North Carolina in the Sweet 16. The other side of the Midwest regional has N.C. State, the other surprising Sweet 16 team, facing Kansas.</p>
<p>Florida will face a very plucky Marquette side in the next round, while the top part of their West bracket played chalk. No. 1 seed Michigan State advanced to play No. 4 seed Louisville.</p>
<p>Xavier is the final double-digit seed to make it to the Sweet 16, and they'll have a difficult matchup against the very talented Baylor Bears. Meanwhile, top overall seed Kentucky will face Indiana, one of the teams they have already lost to this year.</p>

<p>The <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/florida-gators" class="sbn-auto-link">Florida Gators</a> have punched their ticket to the Sweet Sixteen with a dominating defeat of the upstart Norfolk State Spartans. Right from the opening tip, the Gators pounced all over Norfolk State jumping out to a massive lead, taking a 47-19 lead at halftime. The Gators took their foot off the gas just a bit in the second half, but were still able to win by 34 points, 84-50. The star of Norfolk State, Kyle O'Quinn was a complete non-factor for the Spartans as he was in foul trouble all evening, finishing up with just four points and three rebounds.</p>
<p><img src="http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/1011402/oquinn3.gif"></p>
<p>The Gators on the other hand just went to work, completely out matching the Spartans, shooting 52.8 percent from the floor. <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/101071/kenny-boynton" class="sbn-auto-link">Kenny Boynton</a> led the Gators in scoring on the night, picking up 20 points and eight rebounds. <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/145344/bradley-beal" class="sbn-auto-link">Bradley Beal</a> added 14 points and 9 rebounds while <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/53420/erving-walker" class="sbn-auto-link">Erving Walker</a> picked up 15 points. With the victory, the Gators move on to the Sweet Sixteen to take on Marquette later in the week.</p>

<p>It appears as if the Norfolk State Spartans have run out of magic. The <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/florida-gators" class="sbn-auto-link">Florida Gators</a> are pummeling Norfolk in every aspect of the game and hold a 47-19 halftime lead.</p>
<p>The Spartans are shooting just 25.8 percent from the field, including an ice-cold 2-for-12 from deep. Not a single Spartan scorer has more than three points in the first 20 minutes.</p>
<p>As for Florida, they have had no problems imposing their will. <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/53420/erving-walker" class="sbn-auto-link">Erving Walker</a> leads with 11 points and is a perfect 3-for-3 from the field. <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/101071/kenny-boynton" class="sbn-auto-link">Kenny Boynton</a> has added 10 points to help the cause.</p>
