They'll try to punch a ticket to the NCAA Final for the first time since 2007 as 6.5-point favorites against UConn at the AT&T Center in Arlington, Texas. Florida's 62-52 win over Dayton marked the eighth time in the last 10 games the Gators have won by double-digits, including all four games in the NCAA Tournament.

Computer Prediction: 70-66 Florida
The Huskies are 6-1 SU and ATS over their last seven games, including a perfect 4-0 SU and ATS run through the NCAA Tournament. Of those seven games, UConn has been an underdog six times, pulling off five outright upsets over that stretch.
The total has gone UNDER in 10 of Connecticut’s last 13 games and in five of Florida’s last seven games. The total also went UNDER when these two teams met earlier this season in Connecticut, which was the last time that Florida lost this season, as UConn pulled off a 65-64 win as a four-point favorite at home.
Connecticut's standout senior guard Shabazz Napier was the star of the game, scoring 26 points, including a buzzer-beater to top the Gators. Things could be different this time around with Florida in top form and no home court for UConn.
