Gators eager to finally begin season at the Mohegan Sun on Wednesday

It's time to hold your breath and cross your fingers.

After its first three games of the season were scrapped due to positive COVID-19 tests and contact tracing, the UF men's basketball team has its eyes set on "Bubbleville" at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut, once again.

Last week, Florida was scheduled to begin its season at the Mohegan Sun before the program was shut down for nearly a week due to COVID-19 concerns. Now, ironically, it'll tip-off the 2020-21 campaign at the same location just a week later than expected.

The Gators are ready to go with UF head coach Mike White announcing on Tuesday that every player will travel to Connecticut except for junior Osayi Osifo, who is still quarantining.
