Florida basketball finalizing matchup with in-state rival Miami Hurricanes in November
Florida basketball finalizing matchup with in-state rival Miami Hurricanes in November Florida basketball is closing in on an agreement to take on the Miami Hurricanes in Jacksonville this coming season, according to Swamp247's Graham Hall. The two programs are eyeing Sunday, Nov. 16, as the date for the neutral-court matchup between two in-state rivals. According to the report, the Gators have already agreed to a contract with the City of Jacksonville, while the 'Canes are expected to follow suit in the near future. However, Hall did not indicate a projected decision date. It will be the 70th meeting between the Sunshine State schools and the first with head coach Todd Golden at the helm of the Orange and Blue. Florida holds the edge in the all-time series, doubling up Miami at 46-23, and has won six of the last 10 meetings, including two straight. The last time the two teams met on the collegiate parquet was in the second round of the Charleston Classic held in Charleston, South Carolina, back in 2019. The Gators trounced the Hurricanes in a 78-58 beatdown on that late November afternoon. Once finalized, Miami joins the Arizona Wildcats, Duke Blue Devils and UConn Huskies on Florida's non-conference schedule, as well as the inevitable matchup with the Florida State Seminoles. There is also the Rady Children's Invitational at the end of November in which the Gators will compete against the Providence Friars, TCU Horned Frogs and Wisconsin Badgers.
