RALEIGH, N.C. — RALEIGH, N.C. (WTKR) — If oddsmakers didn't giver Norfolk State much of a chance against SEC champion Florida before their NCAA Tournament matchup, they certainly wouldn't have thought the Spartans had much fight when the Gators opened a 53-21 lead. The green and gold showed that fire but it wasn't enough to climb out of the hole. Norfolk State fell to the top seeded Gators 95-69 on Friday night, ending their 2024-25 season in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
