The Florida Gators return to the Swamp after a nail-biting 73-70 loss to the Virginia Cavaliers in the Hall of Fame series last Friday.
Florida’s shot at redemption arrives on Tuesday afternoon when the Florida A&M Rattlers visit the O’Dome in search of the program’s first win in 2023. The last time the two schools met on the hardwood last season, the Gators came out victorious, 102-62.
The Gators displayed the ability the hang around with a perennial March Madness competitor that is Virginia, and a victory over the Rattlers will be a positive swing of the pendulum for the Gators before they head into the real meat of the 2023 campaign.
Here’s what to look out for when the two in-state basketball programs tip off.
