After Wednesday night in the O’Dome, the Florida Gators have met Texas A&M three times in men’s college basketball in their last 23 games.
Those games have been decided by a combined seven points — and the teams have been four points apart after six halves of regulation play, with one three-pointer with seconds left swinging one of those games in overtime. Objectively, they have been good, hard-fought basketball games, if a little low on offense. (Neither team has mustered more than 70 points in regulation in any of them.)
But the Gators could be forgiven for wanting to see nearly any other foe.
