Colorado vs Florida Prediction
Colorado held off Boise State in the First Four on Wednesday night, 60-53 as 3.5-point favorites. In the last two years, non-16 seeds in the First Four are 3-1 ATS in the round of 64 as the Buffaloes head to Indianapolis to face Florida.
The Gators played four games in four days at the SEC tournament as they lost to Auburn in the championship. Florida had plenty of quality wins this season, including beating Alabama twice, Kentucky, and Auburn.
Colorado has won nine of its last 10 games with the lone loss coming in the Pac-12 championship to Oregon.
The Buffaloes shoot the 3-ball very well at 39.1%, which ranks 8th in the nation.
CU struggled from downtown against Boise State by shooting 4-of-15, as they face this Florida squad that was tops in SEC play in defending the 3-point shot.
Let's back Colorado here as a short underdog to knock out Florida.
Pick: Colorado +1 (-110)
