Final: Florida defeated Maryland 87-71

How Florida won: Florida let Maryland stick around for a half but quickly showed its superiority after that in what turned into a drama-free 16-point win in San Francisco. Will Richard led the Gators with 15 points, but they had five players in double figures, showcasing the depth that helped them earn a No. 1 seed. The lopsided win came despite iffy ball security, though, as Florida turned the ball over 17 times. The Gators outscored Maryland in the paint (38-30), got 29 points from their bench and shot the ball well from deep (11-of-28) in a comprehensive win to advance to the Elite Eight. — Kyle Bonagura

Florida's key to Elite Eight: Alex Condon staying on the floor. During a February matchup against Mississippi State, Condon suffered a sprained right ankle. The injury affected the 6-foot-11 big man throughout the season and he tweaked the same injury in the first half of Thursday's win over Maryland. Florida was noticeably less efficient and effective while Condon remained on the sideline earlier in the game, and when he returned, the Gators widened the gap against the Terrapins. Per EvanMiya.com, Condon is the 15th-most impactful player in college basketball — he is ranked ahead of stars
