Where Florida basketball stands in updated March Madness bracket projections
Florida basketball will get chances to enhance its NCAA Tournament resume in the next two weeks.
The Florida Gators (14-6, 4-3 SEC) will begin a stretch of games against three straight Quad 1 opponents on Wednesday when they travel to Rupp Arena to face Kentucky (15-4, 5-2 SEC).
With no Quad 1 wins, Florida finds itself on the wrong side of the NCAA Tournament bubble. But Florida can flip the script with a strong finish to the regular season. Of UF's final 11 regular season games in the SEC, seven are currently projected as Quad 1 opportunities.

"The reality is every game is a resume game one way or the other," Florida coach Todd Golden said. If you lose to a team that you're supposed to beat, that hurts your resume and when you win those games helps you stack up your quality."
Here's a look at UF's latest resume and where they sit in March Madness projections:
