Florida-Duke Showdown Sparks Madness: Can UConn and UNC Upset the Powerhouses Too?
Many sports fans don’t start paying attention to college basketball until after New Year’s Day. It’s hard to blame them. There are so many great sporting events on the November and December calendar that people have to prioritize. College football and the NFL generally dominate the conversation this time of year.Â
But if you’re one of those fans, you might miss out on an incredible slate on December 2. Let’s take a look at three massive matchups.Â
Unfortunately, the Gators have struggled early this season, otherwise this could have been a Top 5 showdown at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Florida is 5-2 with an understandable loss to No. 2 Arizona to open the season and an inexplicable loss to TCU, as double-digit favorites, last week. The Gators don’t have a signature win and fell from No. 3 in the AP Top 25 Preseason Poll down to No. 15 in the latest rankings. They also dropped in KenPom’s rankings from 2nd (preseason) to 16th.Â
