The Florida Gators men’s basketball team takes on their third in-state foe of the 2021-22 season on Saturday in the form of South Florida — USF, if you’re feeling nice — in their nearly yearly pilgrimage south for the Orange Bowl Classic (1 p.m., Bally Sports or streaming) in Sunrise.
In an event that has had more than a few offensive — not literal — performances, the Gators taking the floor against the muck-it-up Bulls feels like it might be a rock fight.
USF is, after all, one of the nation’s best teams when it comes to point prevention — both for their opponents and themselves.
