Florida basketball announces 2022-23 non-conference schedule
Florida basketball announced its entire 2022-23 non-conference schedule on Tuesday, including Florida State, UConn and Kansas State, among others.
The Gators will participate in two non-conference events in addition to their home non-conference schedule. First up is the Phil Knight Legacy taking place in Portland, Oregon, from November 24-27 which also features schools like Duke, Gonzaga and Purdue.
The second is the Jumpman Invitational in Charlotte, North Carolina, on December 20 where the Gators will join Michigan, Oklahoma and North Carolina. All four teams are outfitted by the Jumpman brand.
In addition to the Legacy and Invitational, Florida will play six home games and their annual game against in-state rival FSU, which will be played in Tallahassee. The Gators beat the Seminoles 71-55 last season in Gainesville to snap a seven-game losing streak to the ‘Noles, Florida’s longest losing streak to Florida State in men’s basketball history.

It was reported last week by CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein that TBA opponent on the schedule released by Florida athletics will be the Ohio Bobcats. They will meet on December 14 in a neutral site game at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.
Notably, Florida will not be participating in the Orange Bowl Classic in Sunrise this year — the first time since 2005 that the event will not include the Gators.
After beginning conference play in January, UF will take a detour to Manhattan, Kansas, to participate in the annual SEC/BIG12 challenge on January 28 when they take on Kansas State.
First-year head coach Todd Golden will begin his tenure on November 7 against Stony Brook at the Exactech Arena at Stephen C. O’Connell Center.
