The Florida Gators have made Jacksonville home this year with the renovation of the O’Connell Center keeping the team out of Gainesville until late December. UNF Arena has been especially kind to Florida basketball. The Gators traveled to UNF last season for the NIT and nearly put up triple-digits in the 97-68 victory. Something about that place gets Florida’s offense going.
The Gators had their first 90-plus point game and largest margin of victory of the season, with a 91-60 win over the Ospreys. It was the first true road game of the season, but the Gators felt at home.
