Florida basketball returns to the parquet on Wednesday night against the North Florida Ospreys looking to make amends for its historic loss to the Texas Southern Tigers on Monday. The defeat was not only the second-straight game that the Gators looked completely overmatched, but also the first-ever by a Southeastern Conference team to a school in the Southwestern Athletic Conference.
UF was favored by 22.5 points heading into that tangle and instead had the tables turned on them for a 15-point upset; it was also a 1.5-point favorite before the road loss to the Oklahoma Sooners. The good news is that the Ospreys might be even weaker than TSU and the bookmakers’ numbers seem to reflect that.
On Wednesday morning, the Tipico Sportsbook favored the Gators by 26.5-points over the Ospreys while the over/under is set at 139.5. The money lines for Florida and UNF are minus-10000 and plus-1500, respectively, as of 10:30 a.m. EST.
