Florida basketball opens up its NCAA Tournament run on Friday evening in Raleigh , North Carolina , against the Norfolk State Spartans in the first round of this year 's March Madness.
The two teams have met once before — in the Big Dance , back in 2012 when a seventh -seeded UF squad headed by Billy Donovan crushed No. 15 -seed Norfolk State , 84-50 , in the Sweet 16.
Florida is the No. 1 seed in the West Region , while the Spartans are a No. 16 seed from the MEAC.
