The 2024-25 Florida Gators basketball season is set to tip off on Monday, November 4th when they take on the South Florida Bulls.It’s impossible to start the conversation about this game without acknowledging the tragedy surrounding the South Florida program with head coach Amir Abdur-Rahim passing away suddenly on October 24th from complications that arose during a medical procedure. Abdur-Rahim, just 43 years old, was considered a riser in the professional after quickly building up the Kennesaw State program before moving to South Florida and having a 25-8 season, quickly turning around a Bulls program that had been fledgling.
