Florida basketball is set to face the UConn Huskies in the 2025 Jimmy V Classic at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 9, according to a report from CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein. The matchup marks the second meeting between the two programs in 2025 after the Gators knocked off the two-time defending national champions in the NCAA Tournament.
The Jimmy V Classic, named in honor of legendary NC State head coach Jim Valvano, annually showcases top-tier college basketball matchups while raising awareness and funds for cancer research.
This will be Florida's first appearance in the Jimmy V Classic since rising to the top of college basketball under head coach Todd Golden.
