December
December 7 is the day the Gators will host Connecticut for a marquee non-conference matchup. The Gator basketball squad will also attend the Jumpman Invitational on December 20. The Invitational will take place in North Carolina at the Charlotte Spectrum Center. The schedule will feature two games each night, with games and times to be determined. Teams include North Carolina, Oklahoma, Michigan and Florida, all Jordan-sponsored schools.
January
The Gators then have a game against Kansas State in the Big 12/SEC challenge and it will be a road test for Florida. The event is a 10 game competition in which a selection of SEC and Big 12 basketball teams play to find the superior conference. The SEC came out on top in last year’s challenge going 6-4 over the Big 12, with Florida claiming one of those victories.
