How to Watch Florida Gators' NCAA Tournament Game vs. Iowa

TAMPA, Fla.-- After a blowout 114-55 win over Prairie View A&M on Friday, the one-seed Florida Gators now turn its attention to a date with nine-seed Iowa in the Round of 32 on Sunday.

Florida will look to carry over the momentum from Friday's win, in which Florida set program records for points in an NCAA Tournament game (114), assists in an NCAA Tournament game (29) and 100-point games in a single season (six). The 59-point win is also the second-largest in NCAA Tournament history.

However, Florida knows it has a much tougher challenge on Sunday against the Hawkeyes, who have star guard Bennett Stirtz (19.9 points per game) headlining a slow-paced offense that takes advantage of second-chance opportunities.

"I want us to be confident and continue to play with the same mentality we had (Friday) night," head coach Todd Golden said on Saturday. "Obviously, Iowa is going to provide a much different challenge. They're very well-coached as well, and obviously, they have one of the best point guards in America, and they do a great job playing together."

Here is everything you need to know for the Gators’ matchup against the Hawkeyes, including broadcast information.
