Florida basketball returns to the friendly confines of the O’Connell Center on Wednesday night to host the LSU Tigers. The Gators have stumbled so far in the opening two games of their Southeastern Conference schedule with losses to the Alabama Crimson Tide and Auburn Tigers, respectively, and are looking to score their first win in conference play this season.
Like Florida’s prior pair of matchups, tonight’s opponent is ranked in the top 25, currently sitting at No. 12 in both the Coaches and AP polls, and is the highest-ranked SEC team in the NET ratings at No. 3. The Gators, however, are voteless in both polls and come in at No. 49 in the NET, but despite this wide margin of difference, the bookmakers seem bullish on the Orange and Blue.
The Tipico Sportsbook favors the Gators by 2.5-points over the Tigers while the over/under is set at 138.5. The money lines for Florida and Auburn are minus-150 and plus-122, respectively, as of 11 a.m. EST on Wednesday morning.
| Team | Spread | Money Line | Total Points |
| LSU | 2.5 -108 |
+122 | O 138.5 -107 |
| Florida | -2.5 -112 |
-150 | U 138.5 -115 |
