The Phil Knight Invitational in Portland, Oregon is set to be the premier event of the non-conference season and on Monday the brackets were released, allowing the Gators to see who they’ll be taking on. Here are the matchups:
Florida vs. Xavier
Duke vs. Oregon State
Purdue vs. West Virginia
Gonzaga vs. Portland State
Given the finishes of each team in the 2021-22 season and how they project entering 2022-23, this bracket is about what you’d expect and it will give the Gators an opportunity at three high-quality games that will help them test their skills and build an NCAA Tournament resume.
