Florida absolutely dismantled Prairie View A&M in a first-round NCAA Tournament blowout, cruising to a 114-55 victory at Benchmark International Arena. The Gators were relentless from the opening tip, unleashing a devastating 18-2 run to jump out to a 33-17 lead before extending it further with a 27-2 surge that put the game completely out of reach. Florida's defense was suffocating—the Panthers endured a brutal 54-play scoring drought in the first half, unable to generate any offensive rhythm against the top seed's suffocating pressure. The Gators' dominance was on full display, building their largest lead at 63 points as they controlled every facet of the game. A 13-2 run in the second half put Florida at 109-47, essentially putting the final nail in the coffin. Late-game heroics from Tai'Reon Joseph and the Panthers couldn't change the narrative—this was all Florida. The No. 1 seed advanced decisively, covering the 35.5-point spread with room to spare.
