We can tell you that La Canfora is predicting that Florida takes down top overall seed Auburn 83-78 in the first national semifinal! "Two powerful offensive teams, but this could be a little slower due to nerves, new surroundings and all that jazz. Florida has been a little more consistent than the Tigers. The Gators dropped 90 on Auburn at Auburn, which is hard for me to forget, and probably hard for the Tigers to forget," La Canfora told SportsLine.
