Vegas is giving No. 16 Norfolk State practically zero chance against No. 1 Florida.
Gators are one of the best teams in the country, and many predict that they can go in the March madness tournament.
Only two seeds No. 16 have eliminated a number 1 seed in the history of the tournament (Umbc over Virginia in 2018 and Fairleigh Dickinson on Purdue in 2023).

The gators are favorites of almost 30 points against Norfolk State, which left the coach of the scattered Spartans.
“I know that Florida is very, very good, and direct a great program, they obtained great players. But are we so bad that the disseminated point is like that?” Robert Jones wondered. “I am a little angry and, as I said, I am a little more concentrated and play better when I am angry.”
He also showed the confidence he has in his boys.
“I think players play better when they are angry.”
