Florida to meet West Virginia in 2018 Jimmy V Classic

The Florida Gators will make a return trip to the Jimmy V Classic — and Madison Square Garden — in 2018.

Florida will participate in the annual showcase event this fall, making its first sojourn back to the house where Chris Chiozza’s Madison Square Miracle happened in the 2017 NCAA Tournament since then, the school announced Wednesday.

“The Jimmy V Classic is a special event, and we’re really excited for Florida to be part of it again,” head coach Mike White said. “It’s a fantastic opportunity to play a high-level opponent in one of the best basketball venues in the world.
