The high-flying Florida Gators (6-1, 0-0) will be taking their current six-win streak to the Ocean Center this Friday night in Daytona Beach to play against an undefeated No. 11 Rutgers Scarlet Knights (7-0, 0-0) team who are looking to continue their dominance in non-conference play. Tip-off is at 8, and the game can be seen on Fox Sports Florida and on espn3.com. This game has two very different meanings for each team. Rutgers is expecting to come into this game and dominate Florida like they did in 2009 when they won 51-38, and then put all of their focus on the following matchup against No. 9 Miami Hurricanes. The Gators, on the other hand, plan on using this game as a reason why they should be taken more seriously, perhaps even ranked.
