Florida basketball prepares for the second game of the 2023-24 campaign on Friday night in Charlotte, North Carolina, for a matchup with the Virginia Cavalier for the Hall of Fame Series.
Both teams won their season-openers, with the Gators throttling the Loyola Maryland Greyhounds in the O’Connell Center Monday night while the Cavs whipped the Tarleton State Texans on their home court that same evening. Neither team is in the top 25 of either poll, but UVA does have votes in both while the Gators earned recognition in just one.
After an easy start to the schedule, Florida faces its first real test early on. While it is a game away from Gainesville, it’s technically a neutral court affair that should break even for the Orange and Blue. As for the rest? Take a look below at what to expect.
