Florida basketball returns to action on Friday night following a hugely disappointing loss to the Florida Atlantic Owls in the O’Connell Center on Monday. The first loss of the [autotag]Todd Golden[/autotag] era was an ugly one as the visitors shot the lights out from beyond the arc to upset their in-state sister school for the first time in four tries.
Next up for the Gators is another Sunshine State sibling in the Florida State Seminoles, who host the Orange and Blue on Friday night in Tallahassee. FSU has had an even rougher start to the season having lost all three games so far. Both teams will come out looking to correct the ship with a win against their bitter rivals.
Florida holds a commanding lead in the all-time series with a 44-28 record in a series that dates back to 1951 when UF won the first meeting between the two to start one of two seven-game winning streaks for Florida. However, FSU had run off seven straight of its own recently before the Gators snapped the streak last year in Gainesville.
