The Gator’s roster for the upcoming season was also released recently. Guard Chris Chiozza and center John Egbunu will be leading the team as the only seniors on the 2017/18 roster.

Head coach Mike White will continue to lead the team following his recent contract extension with the Florida Gators.

Coach White recently talked with ESPN Gainesville’s Steve Russell about the upcoming season.

“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.”

Season ticket purchasing is now open.
