The Florida Gators advanced to the Elite 8 in the West Region of the 2025 NCAA Tournament with an 87-71 win over the Maryland Terrapins out in San Francisco on Thursday.
It was not easy for Todd Golden's top-seeded team, who battled back and forth with the Terps for the first half of the game. Ultimately, the Orange and Blue simply had too much for fourth-seeded Maryland, as our own David Rosenberg predicted, using its deep bench to overcome the brief loss of Alex Condon to an ankle injury.
"The Gators have one of the deepest rosters in the country and likely to outlast their opponent until the conditioning fails," he prophesized in our Gators Wire expert opinions roundtable.
Fortunately for Florida fans, everything worked out for the Gators. Who they face next is still in the balance as of the time of publication, but the media and fanbase alike are already ecstatic over Thursday night's results as well as what might be in store ahead.
Take a look below at some of the top posts from X, also known as Twitter, after the final horn sounded from both the big boys and the common fellow reacting to Florida's win. Be sure to check back as we plan to update the list of comments.
