Dayton is flying high after the upsets it has already mounted thus far in this tournament, while it runs into a buzz saw in the top seeded Gators with a trip to the Final Four on the line.
Florida will try to end a streak of losing in the Elite Eight three years in a row.
"We're just very blessed and fortunate to be a team that can put themselves in this opportunity to play for a Final Four again," Florida senior Patric Young told ESPN Friday. "Going to prepare and do the best we can, especially as a senior class, because it's our last go-round to make it to that next step."
Dayton coach Archie Miller knows it will be tough to defeat the Gators, seeking a 29th straight win.
"You understand kind of their pedigree right now," Miller said per ESPN. "They're the number 1 overall seed for a reason. They've won 29 games in a row. I don't know who can help me, to be honest with you."
The Flyers have been paced by Jordan Sibert, who averages a team-high 12.5 points per game while Devin Oliver leads the team in rebounds (7.5) and assists (2.4) per game. Casey Prather paces the Gators by averaging 14.2 points per game.
A trip to the Final Four is on the line when Dayton and Florida take the court tonight in Memphis.
