ORLANDO — After a sluggish and somewhat puzzling performance against Albany to open its NCAA Tournament, Billy Donovan wanted 40 minutes of defensive intensity from the Florida Gators in the Round of 32.

He got it and then some, as they turned up the pressure against Pittsburgh and cruised to a 61-45 victory at the Amway Center.

Florida advances to the South Regional semifinals in Memphis, where it will face the winner between No. 4 seed UCLA and No. 13 seed Stephen F. Austin.

BOX SCORE: Florida 61, Pittsburgh 45
