Teams with good point guards that have the ability to penetrate and pass hurt Florida because UF likes to double team and help so someone is always open, so if the PG is good enough, you can find a lot of open guys against Florida.
Memphis gave UF trouble because of their excellent dribble penetration and assists off of dribble drives.
That being said, even with a PG, the rest of the team HAS to knock down shots. Bottom line. Even then, it'll be close. No one is blowing Florida out. Any defeat will be close.
The team that beats UF also has to be very good on defense, because despite the low scoring numbers, UF is in the top 20 in offensive efficiency in the nation, so UF will score enough points to stay in games.
UF has also not been very strong guarding the 3 lately.
That being said, UF is clutch. It'll be hard to knock em out. Especially playing most of their games in front of friendly crowds in the South East.

UF has played a strong enough OOC schedule to justify the ranking, not to mention we are talking about a team full of players that have been to 3 straight Elite 8's. They know how to win in the tournament.
