The Gators will see new foes in their final two SEC games.
With the SEC's Tuesday release of its men's basketball schedule for the 2016-17 season, we now know the Florida Gators schedule for the 2016-17 season. And while the Gators won't occupy the post-renovation O'Connell Center — now called Exactech Arena at the O'Connell Center -- until late December for a non-conference game, the Gators' SEC home opener is going to be a big game.
That's because the Gators will host Mississippi — coach Mike White's alma mater — for that game, on January 3, the first game in 2017.
