Well, a 0-1 start to the season certainly wasn't on the to-do list for Todd Golden and the Florida men's basketball team, but here we are.
Now, after losing to the No. 13 Arizona Wildcats to start the season, the No. 3 Florida Gators are returning home and turning to their next matchup: the North Florida Ospreys.
While North Florida isn't a big-time opponent, it is absolutely a get-right game for Golden and the Gators. However, because it isn't a Power Conference matchup, the game won't be on any major networks.
So, how exactly can Gator fans tune in to see their team in action versus an in-state opponent?
