Florida to Visit Kansas State in SEC/Big 12 Challenge
Thursday, June 16, 2022 | Men's Basketball
Florida men's basketball will visit Kansas State in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge on Jan. 28, 2023, it was announced on Thursday.
The Gators hold a 1-1 mark all-time against the Wildcats, and this will be Florida's first trip to Manhattan, Kansas. The teams split the only two previous meetings, with UF winning in Sunrise, Florida, on Dec. 18, 2010, followed by Kansas State taking a meeting in Kansas City on Dec. 12, 2012.
Florida is 6-3 all-time in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge and is 2-2 in road contests. The Gators look to build on two consecutive wins in the event, topping Oklahoma State at home last season and defeating 11th-ranked West Virginia on the road two seasons ago.
Like Florida under Todd Golden, Kansas State will also be led by a first-year head coach in Jerome Tang, who was hired after a 19-year stint at Baylor. The Wildcats are expected to return All-Big 12 honorable mention selection Markquis Nowell (12.4 ppg., 5.0 apg.) and junior Ish Massoud (6.8 ppg., 2.8 rpg.) in 2022-23.
All games will air on ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU.
