No. 1 Florida (34-4) over No. 1 Auburn (32-5): Florida has scored 80-plus points in three of its last four NCAA Tournament games, including in the Elite Elight and Sweet 16. Auburn has done a great job of overpowering opposing teams, but the Gators have what it takes to outpace the Tigers on both sides of the ball.

This matchup marks a rematch of last year's Sweet 16, when LSU defeated UCLA 78-69. The Bruins are in search of their first Final Four appearance, while LSU looks to return to the Final Four for the first time since their title run in 2023.
