O'Connell Center at 9 pm and streaming live from the WatchESPN website for the SEC conference game and comes as the Gators are the number three team in the nation under Billy Donovan and looking to continue undefeated in conference play this season.
Florida comes into the game after winning huge over Texas A&M and the team set a mark by allowing just 36 points from the Aggies and now they face the Tigers before playing against the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday at home.
