“Gator fans deserve to see us play in this type of schedule,” noted coach White when asked about the release of the upcoming non-conference schedule. “It’s great preparation for the SEC season, of course, and it gives us an opportunity for the computers to like us. We’re all excited to get back to playing a full schedule at Exactech Arena, which our fans and the Rowdy Reptiles help make one of the great environments in college basketball.”
