No. 4 regional seed USF upsets Gators; top-seeded Hogs win
Four of the seven No. 3 regional seeds that played early Friday also won. The Bulls ended the regular season 24-26 after being picked last in the American Athletic Conference, and they had to win their league tournament to get into the NCAAs. The Gators had won 19 of 21 meetings with the Bulls in Gainesville, Florida, and had beaten them in the national tournament in 1996, 2015 and 2017.
