After an encouraging start to the season the Florida Gators (3-0) will head to Fort Myers to take on the California Golden Bears (2-2) in the Fort Myers Tip Off. This will be considered a “semi-home” game for the Gators–a distinction that technically matters in terms of NCAA Tournament selection and seeding.
Florida is playing great basketball after finally taking down a big time rival in Florida State and Milwaukee and Cal is, well, has been stumbling a bit to start.
The Golden Bears opened their season against UC San Diego, a team in only their second year of D1 basketball after making the jump a year prior.
