Coming off a gritty win over Missouri the Gators (14-8, 4-5 SEC) will look to build some momentum and get some revenge against the Ole Miss Rebels (12-10, 3-6 SEC) who blasted the Gators in Oxford in the first meeting between the two teams 70-54. That game was one of Florida’s most disappointing losses of the year and they’d love to get that bitter taste out of their mouth this time around when the Rebels travel to Gainesville.
In the first meeting of the season injuries played a huge role. For Florida, it was Colin Castleton who was missing his third consecutive game with a shoulder injury.
