Florida basketball returns to the court on Wednesday night to kick off its 2022-23 Southeastern Conference schedule on the road against the Auburn Tigers in Neville Arena.
The Gators enter the game with a mediocre 7-5 mark after a bit of a rough start to the Todd Golden era. Meanwhile, the Tigers are once again a formidable force in the SEC West carrying a 10-2 record into the game as well as top-25 rankings in both major polls. This is the first meeting since UF toppled second-ranked Auburn in Gainesville last February.
The long series history between the two schools on the parquet is close with Auburn holding a 88-82 lead dating back to the first meeting in 1927. The Gators held a series-high 11-game winning streak from 2010 to 2018 as well as an eight-game losing streak from 1954 to 1957. The two programs are currently knotted at three wins apiece since the end of the winning streak.
