Monday, August 17, 2009 | Men's Basketball
The Stephen C. O'Connell Center will get plenty of airtime during the 2009-10 season, as the University of Florida will host three Super Tuesday games, ESPN announced on Monday.
While the complete SEC schedule has not been released yet, ESPN announced a glimpse of its 2009-10 slate. The first Super Tuesday game will be a showdown between the Gators and Kentucky on Jan. 12 at 9 p.m. at the O'Connell Center.
It will mark the 24th consecutive time the two teams have played on national TV dating back to 1999.
On Feb. 23 Florida welcomes Tennessee for a 9 p.m. tip. It will be the third time in four years the two teams have met on Super Tuesday, but the first time during that stretch in Gainesville.
Finally, on March 2 the Gators host Vanderbilt at 7 p.m. Florida has taken the last eight meetings between the two at the O'Connell Center.
The league will announce its complete schedule at a later date.
