The Florida Gators are looking to make one last push to make the NCAA Tournament field. To do so, they'll have to make some noise in the SEC Tournament this week in Tampa.

The Gators (19-12, 9-9 in SEC) finished in ninth place in the SEC regular-season standings. Star forward Colin Castleton missed several games in the middle of the season with a shoulder injury, but his return combined with the steady play of Tyree Appleby and the late-season surge by Phlandrous Fleming Jr. has kept Florida's March Madness hopes alive. They lost their regular-season finale to No. 6 Kentucky but got a boost from the return of Keyontae Johnson for one last start on Senior Day.

The Gators open the SEC Tournament against No. 8-seed Texas A&M (20-11, 9-9) on Thursday. The Aggies ended the season on a four-game winning streak and beat the Gators 56-55 on Feb. 15 in College Station. ESPN's Joe Lunardi has both Florida and TAMU in his "Next Four Out" in the NCAA Tournament field.
