Florida’s Men’s Basketball team announced their 2023-24 nonconference schedule on Monday morning, setting the stage for Todd Golden’s second season as head coach of the Gators.
The Orange and Blue will kick things off against Loyola Maryland on the first possible date of the 2023-24 campaign, on Monday, Nov. 6, which will mark the first meeting between the two schools.
The Gators play six power conference opponents during nonconference action – four at neutral sites and one on the road – with the Nov. 17 date vs. Florida State highlighting UF’s home slate.
The Gators are competing in several previously announced marquee events, facing both Virginia (Nov. 10) and Michigan (Dec. 19) in Charlotte, competing in the NIT Tip-Off in Brooklyn (Nov. 22 and 24) and visiting Wake Forest in the inaugural ACC/SEC Challenge (Nov. 29).
Florida will also play a pair of games around the state, taking on Richmond in Sunrise for the Orange Bowl Classic (Dec. 9) and East Carolina in Lakeland (Dec. 14).
Five opponents will mark the first meeting in series history.
Game times and television information will be announced at a later date.
