GAINESVILLE -- First-year Florida men’s basketball coach Mike White still has fond memories of Oxford, Mississippi.
It’s where his basketball career started, a four-year starter at point guard for Ole Miss from 1995-1999 and seven years as an assistant coach.
It’s where he and his wife, Kira, met and where four of his five children were born.
And on Saturday, when Florida faces the Rebels at 8 p.m. in The Pavilion, White hopes it will be the site where his Gators pick up their first SEC road win of the season.
“I hadn’t experienced anything like this,” White said.
