GAINESVILLE, Fla. – With Florida’s originally-scheduled men’s basketball game at Oklahoma unable to move ahead this week, the Gators have signed on for a trip to Mohegan Sun in Connecticut for two midweek games in the Basketball Hall of Fame’s Bubbleville event on Wednesday and Thursday, Dec. 2-3.
Florida will face Army on Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. (ESPN2) and Boston College at 9:30 p.m. on Thursday (ESPN).
The Gators had been slated to tip their season at Bubbleville on Nov. 25 and 27, but were forced to pull out and pause team activities<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__floridagators.com_news_2020_11_22_mens-2Dbasketball-2Dpauses-2Dteam-2Dactivities.aspx&d=DwIFAg&c=sJ6xIWYx-zLMB3EPkvcnVg&r=o5LKAX7slotfFMyE71jI7L22NYBIi1-KbRGNSXudTPo&m=RdkFFRUoNWj3PCq7YfbQtja5Vw8vSos0eE8ex_8Y9OE&s=ZJgKpoTYvebGCFdd6O2TkQtK8WNsQXI2HFu53QSKvPY&e= >. The 11-day event maintained enough scheduling flexibility that the Gators were able to get back in the mix.
Florida will return to Gainesville for its home opener vs. Stetson on Sunday, Dec. 6, as scheduled.
The home-and-home series between Florida and Oklahoma will now start next season in Norman.
