UF set to take on SEC newcomers

By now, the idea that a school from Texas and a school from Missouri are both members of the Southeastern Conference should no longer be surreal (assuming that it once was to some).

Both Texas A&M and the aptly named Mizzou have had six months to get acquainted with life in the SEC after bolting from the Big 12 — you know, the conference with only 10 teams — during college athletics’ prolonged and expensive game of musical chairs that continued last year.

This week, the Florida Gators basketball team will have a chance to square off with both newcomers, as UF hits the road to College Station, Texas, for a 7 p.m. matchup against the Aggies on Thursday, before returning to Gainesville for a sold-out showdown against No. 17 Missouri at 2 p.m. Saturday.
