With one of America’s favorite holidays in college basketball’s tip-off marathon fast approaching, UF will take part in the festivities with a familiar matchup versus Grambling State on Wednesday.
The Tigers were one of the worst programs in Division I basketball last season. They compiled a 5-23 record and finished 344th in the RPI rankings. Grambling struggled to even stay competitive in 2019-20, losing 17 contests by double-digit margins.
However, GSU nearly beat the Gators last season, taking a one-point lead into the final quarter last season before falling 72-66 in Grambling, Louisiana. The Tigers return their four leading scorers from last season, a senior-laden core that could cause problems for UF.
