Florida, which lost to Fredette and his cohorts 92-99 in the first round of last year's tournament, advanced to the regional semifinals for the third time in the last six years by beating California-Santa Barbara 79-51 and UCLA 73-65.

The Gators had a hot hand in both contests, shooting 54.7 percent against the Gauchos and 50 percent against the Bruins. Erving Walker led Billy Donovan's squad in scoring on each occasion, dropping 18 in Florida's first outing and 21 in its second. 

The Gators defense, which has limited its opposition to a 42.3 percent from the field on the season, held UCSB to 36.2 percent and UCLA to 41.8 percent field goal shooting.
