Florida vs. NC State predictions
The Florida Gators have been a special team this season and even after losing their opening game against Texas A&M, they should regroup. This lineup is better than going 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position. The fact they were playing in a game that had a rain delay that lasted more than four hours also affected things.
Jac Caglianone has been one of the best two-way players in the nation while Dominic Fritton has been getting shelled this year. All in all, go with the Florida Gators to keep their season alive and win in this elimination game.
