    Florida had to wait until late Thursday night to find out who their Friday opponent would be, and after withstanding a physical battle from Mississippi State it was the Missouri Tigers who won out to advance to take on the Gators.

    Missouri was one of the best stories from the SEC season, picked in the preseason to finish 13th after a year where they shockingly went winless in the league. The Tigers were able to drastically over perform that prediction finishing 7th in the SEC and finding themselves #21 in the AP Poll speaking to the national recognition they deserved. Earning the 7th seed the Tigers had a first round bye before taking on Mississippi State who advanced after destroying LSU, but they ran out of steam as Mizzou ended up winning 85-73 in a game that was within one or two possessions for much of the 40 minutes.
