» NOTES
Head coach Billy Donovan on the schedule: “I think we benefited last year from a challenging non-conference schedule and getting a couple of quality wins early in the season. We’re going to stay with the same scheduling philosophy and we’ve put together another competitive non-conference schedule.”
– Florida’s opener against Florida Tech on Oct. 28 is the earliest start in school history.
– UF will face UNC-W, OSU and NC A&T as part of the Global Sports Invitational.
– The Gators play in three more events during the regular season: the Florida Citrus Shootout with UCF, the Orange Bowl Basketball Classic against KSU and the BB&T Classic vs. American.

    It’s about time that the non-conference schedule was released. After the first 5 teams listed above the rest of the schedule, the competition for the Gators really drops off. Radford??

    When will the SEC schedule for the Gators come out Adam?

    I like the Kent State and Rhode Island games. Those could be more difficult than people think.
