Florida Gulf Coast, from Plucky Underdog to Chic Pick ESPN analysts Digger Phelps and Bruce Pearl have picked Florida Gulf Coast to beat Florida. They did so matter-of-factly, too, like a 15th seed knocking off a No. 3 in the round of 16 is as common as pouring milk on cereal. The TNT analyst Steve Kerr stopped short of a prediction, but likened Florida Gulf Coast's confidence and belief in itself to that of tournament darlings Virginia Commonwealth and George Mason in recent years. Before long, you've got some momentum, you've captured something. With this team, it's not just momentum. They've captured the imagination of fans across the country. So now it takes on a life of its own. It's a wonderful story," Kerr said courtside here at Cowboys Stadium while the Eagles practiced Thursday. Kerr was not in Philadelphia to witness the Eagles stun Georgetown and oust San Diego State. It didn't take much videotape, though, to convince him the Gators will be under significant pressure, and that's not factoring in the energy of a crowd that's expected to be rooting for heavy underdog Florida Gulf Coast. There's activity and alertness on every possession in every aspect of the game. Every time they get the ball, they're running. ... They play with an urgency, but it's well coached. There's a fundamental base to what they're doing. Defensively, same thing," Kerr said. When you think of a 15 seed that pulls off an upset, you think they controlled the ball, they controlled the tempo, they didn't let the other team get out and run. This is the exact opposite. They're trying to force tempo, they're getting out and running and finishing in transition and dunking. It is a different look. It's fun. The Gators don't think so. They sounded weary of hearing about their opponent's history-making two-game tournament run and hearing so little about themselves. It's pretty much been like that since I got to the University of Florida. We haven't really got credit for anything we've accomplished over these past few years so I'm used to it," said Florida junior center Patric Young.
