Saturday, December 15, 2012 | Men's Basketball, Softball, Chris Harry
When fifth-ranked Florida (7-0) and eighth-ranked Arizona (7-0) clash Saturday night in Tucson at McKale Center the game will be just the 11th time in this 2012-13 college basketball season that a pair of ranked teams have squared off -- and just the fourth time a pair of top 10 teams have played.
Of those previous three top-10 games, only one -- Duke vs. Ohio State -- was played as a home game. The other two were at neutral-site tournaments.
Here's the list of ranked games to date.
