The Prairie View A&M Panthers (No. 16 seed, 19–17, 9–9 Southwestern Athletic Conference) advanced into the main bracket after winning the SWAC Tournament as a lower seed and then picking up a First Four victory, marking the program’s first NCAA Tournament win. Their late-season surge turned an uneven regular season into a historic run, and they now enter the Round of 64 carrying momentum as a true underdog.
The Florida Gators (No. 1 seed, 26–7, 16–2 Southeastern Conference) earned a top overall seed after a dominant season in the SEC, including a 16–2 conference record and one of the strongest résumés in the country. As the defending national champions, Florida enters this matchup as one of the favorites to make another deep run, beginning with this opening-round game in the South Region.
