The Florida Gators men’s basketball team will start the season on November 3rd against Catholic University at home. The first “true test” will come November 15th when the Gators face Ohio State in Columbus. We all know about our favorable history against the Buckeyes – maybe they can play the game in the Swamp instead?

The Gators are coming off a trip to the elite 8, in a year where they returned all 5 starters. Erving Walker & Kenny Boynton lead the Gators into the 2011-2012 season with a smaller lineup than last year. UF lost several players including, Chandler Parsons, to the NBA. The Gators are stacked at guard, but will need to work on developing their front court to compete in the SEC and ultimately (hopefully) in the NCAA tournament.
