The last time the Florida Gators traveled to Coral Gables for a matchup on the hardwood with the Miami Hurricanes was 2005. In that game, the likes of Joakim Noah, Al Horford and Corey Brewer led a stacked Gators squad to a 77-67 win and would eventually carry that team to their first of back-to-back national championships.
Fast forward to 2015 and with the roles reversed, it’s the stacked Miami roster that will look to beat Florida on the way to their own national championship.
When the two teams met last year, it was an instant classic with Angel Rodriguez bailing the Canes out and leading Coach Larranaga’s squad to a 69-67 victory in Gainesville.
