The Final Four spotlight shines on the Alamodome this Saturday as the Florida Gators (34-4) square off against the Auburn Tigers (32-5) in a high-stakes SEC showdown with a national championship berth on the line.
Florida has looked the part of a title contender all season. The Gators opened the campaign with 13 consecutive wins before stumbling briefly against Kentucky and Missouri. They rebounded with signature wins over Texas, South Carolina, and Georgia, only to be tripped up by Tennessee. Since then, Florida has found its groove, ripping off six straight victories heading into Saturday’s clash.
Auburn, meanwhile, overcame a shaky finish to the regular season to rediscover its rhythm at just the right time. After early-season losses to only Duke and Florida, the Tigers went on a tear through the SEC, collecting key victories over Alabama, Arkansas, and Kentucky. Despite dropping their final two regular-season games to Texas A&M and Alabama, they regrouped in the SEC Tournament with a solid win over Ole Miss to build momentum.
