Florida should be a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. The Gators left little doubt as to who the second No. 1 seed from the SEC would be with a 86-77 win over Tennessee in the SEC tournament title game on Sunday. Florida controlled the game for nearly its entirety and pulled away after a brief run by Tennessee in the second half.
