Florida has posted a record of 34-4, enjoying one of its best seasons in program history.
Head coach Todd Golden has done an outstanding job since joining the Gators’ program. Golden has his team in the Final Four for the first time since 2013.
Florida last won a National Championship in 2007 when it went back-to-back.
The Gators feel fortunate to be in this position after trailing Texas Tech by double digits late in the second half in the Elite Eight. Florida furiously stormed back late in the contest to earn a 84-79 win.
Walter Clayton Jr. leads the team with 18.1 points and 4.2 assists per game, while FAU transfer Alijah Martin has averaged 14.5 points and 4.6 rebounds a night.
On the flip side, Auburn has posted a strong record of 32-5.
That record earned the Tigers the No. 1 overall seed in the tournament, and there’s no team with a stronger resume in college basketball.
Like Florida, Auburn was tested in the Sweet 16 when it trailed Michigan by double digits in the second half.
The Tigers stormed back in that game to earn a 78-65 win over Michigan. Bruce Pearl and the Tigers took out the Michigan State Spartans 70-64 in the Elite Eight.
Auburn will be making its second appearance in the Final Four, and the last time the Tigers reached this spot was in 2019. Auburn has never played for a National Championship.
Johni Broome leads the Tigers with 18.7 points and 10.9 rebounds an evening. Senior Chad Baker-Mazara has enjoyed a strong season, with 12.2 points and 3.1 rebounds per game.
With the matchup set, let’s dive into my Final Four parlay for Auburn vs. Florida on Saturday, April 5.

I’ll ride with the Gators in this matchup.
I anticipate a close, back-and-forth contest, but the Gators’ main advantage will be creating second-chance opportunities.
Florida ranks fourth in the nation in offensive rebounds and will be resilient on the glass against Broome and Co.
[subheader sizedown=”true” text=”Florida Player Prop: Alex Condon Over 10.5 Points” subtext=”” center=”false” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/ncaab/100/fla.png” link1=”” link1follow=”true” logo2url=”” link2=”” link2follow=”true” trailinglogourl=”” trailinglink=”” trailinglinkfollow=”true”][/subheader]
Alex Condon didn’t play in the Gators’ Elite Eight win over Texas Tech, but he’ll be healthy for this game.
The Australian big man matches up exceptionally well with this Auburn defense.
Condon has averaged 10.8 points per game this season.
[subheader sizedown=”true” text=”Auburn Player Prop: Tahaad Pettiford Over 13.5 Points” subtext=”” center=”false” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/ncaab/100/aub.png” link1=”” link1follow=”true” logo2url=”” link2=”” link2follow=”true” trailinglogourl=”” trailinglink=”” trailinglinkfollow=”true”][/subheader]
Despite coming off the bench for Auburn, Tahaad Pettiford is one of the best scorers in college basketball.
Pettiford has averaged 29 minutes per game in the NCAA Tournament, which bodes well for this prop.
The freshman has averaged 17.3 points per game in March Madness.
