ORLANDO, Fla. – Four Florida teams begin their quest to reach the Final Four in Glendale, Ariz., this week — and three of those teams will be playing in Orlando.
The Florida Gators will be playing at Orlando’s Amway Center on Thursday. The Gators (24-8) will face East Tennessee State University (27-7) in the opening round at 2:10 p.m. The winner of that game faces the winner of the Virginia-UNC Wilmington contest.
