Charting the Gators: Florida vs. No. 1s
Thursday, December 10, 2015 | Men's Basketball, Chris Harry

LOOKING OUT FOR NO. 1s
When Florida calls on Michigan State Saturday night at the Breslin Center (above), it'll mark just the 16th time the Gators have faced a team ranked No. 1 in the nation. UF is 2-13 in the previous such circumstances, with all 13 of the losses coming against Kentucky -- Florida has never beaten top-ranked UK -- and both of the wins coming in the NCAA Tournament. It'll be the seventh road game against a No. 1 squad on the road. The Spartans also will be the first No. 1 the Gators have faced in a regular season not named Kentucky.
